  The American Experiment - A...

  American democracy did not emerge overnight but was built on centuries of ideas and experiences that shaped political thought and practice. Early influences came from the ancient Greeks, whose experiments with direct democracy in city-states demonstrated that citizens could participate in their government. The ancient model, however, was limited in scope and exclusive in nature, leaving out women, slaves, and non-citizens. These limitations sparked later thinkers to envision a more inclusive system in which all individuals might have a voice. 
  The influence of the Roman Republic was also significant. The Romans developed a system of representative government, incorporating checks and balances that would later be crucial in American political structure. Their ideas of civic duty, legal rights, and the importance of a written code of laws resonated with future leaders who saw the need for a balanced government where power was neither overly concentrated nor arbitrary. The Roman emphasis on civic responsibility established an early link between law and governance that would later inform the formation of the United States. 
  The enlightenment period ignited a profound transformation in political thinking. Philosophers such as John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau wrote about natural rights, the separation of powers, and the social contract. Locke’s advocacy of life, liberty, and property laid the groundwork for the concept that governments exist to serve the people and that their authority is derived from the consent of the governed. Montesquieu’s writings on the separation of governmental power into branches to prevent tyranny became a key element in the design of the American political system. These ideas gained traction among colonial leaders, who saw in them the means to challenge the existing forms of monarchical and aristocratic rule.

  The Caucasus has an extremely rich folk literature, almost unknown among English speakers, which includes myths, legends, magical tales, anecdotes and proverbs. The one hundred and one legends included in this book reflect the cultures of fourteen different ethnic groups - their dynamism and the matters that concerned them: survival against external dangers, the risk of starvation and the persistence of the family or clan as a coordinated group. Descended from an oral tradition, much of their knowledge was retained in memories and passed down the generations. Yet, with the introduction of the alphabet, the way of life they portray is rapidly becoming extinct. An incomparable collection, Legends of the Caucasus conveys the poetry and romance of these swiftly vanishing tribes.

  Ministry of Truth - Democracy...

  A searing, vital investigation of the Republican Party’s dangerous campaign to rewrite history in real time, from the Emmy Award-winning Rachel Maddow Show producer and bestselling author of The Impostors. 
  “There is nobody…who has more influence on the way I think about politics than Steve Benen.” —Rachel Maddow  
  For as long as historical records have existed, authoritarian regimes have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes, using their dictatorial powers to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. 
  Today, as America’s Republican Party becomes increasingly radicalized, it’s not surprising to see the GOP read from a similarly despotic script. Indeed, the party is taking dangerous, aggressive steps to rewrite history—and not just from generations past. Unable to put a positive spin on Trump-era scandals and fiascos, GOP voices and their allies have grown determined to rewrite the stories of the last few years—from the 2020 election results and the horror of January 6th to their own legislative record—treating the recent past as an enemy to be overpowered, crushed, and conquered. The consequences for our future, in turn, are dramatic. 
  Extraordinarily timely and undeniably important, Steve Benen’s new book tells the staggering chronicle of the Republican party’s unsettling attempts at historical revisionism. It reveals not only how dependent they have grown on the tactic, but also how dangerous the consequences are if we allow the party to continue. The stakes, Benen argues, couldn’t be higher: the future of democracy hinges on both our accurate understanding of events and the end of alternative narratives that challenge reality. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
