Summary

"In a clarion call to all thinking Americans, Harlan Ullman reveals the fault lines within our government and culture - fault lines dangerously close to shattering under the immense pressure of a misguided war on terror and global crusade for democratization. Through strategic analysis, he shows how we can right the ship, proffering remedies such as universal voting and the requirement that elected officials actually read legislation before voting on it."--Jacket.
