### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Gets to the point clearly and outlines the challenges ahead for American political life.
  

*by A***  on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020*

This book probably won't be everyone's cup of tea for the obvious reason it spreads blame for the current state of discourse in American politics around.  While it concentrates heavily on the behavior of the current occupant of the Presidency, the book is as much about what put him there as what has happened since he was elected.  I fully acknowledge that many won't agree with my point, but no political party or ideology comes out of the authors' analysis unscathed.Where the book is particularly valuable is in its survey of periods in American history where challenges--termed threats to democracy--arose and how the nation made its way past those challenges.  One of the problems with current discourse is that it looks to the past as some Golden Age without realizing the undercurrents that existed during those times (both sides do this).  No period in our nation's history is pristine and devoid of warts and the authors do a good job of picking out eras when there were considerable obstacles to surmount.

    amazing book
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2023*

I read it because it was so highly recommended by Rachel Maddow, and it is a great book, on a topic that fascinates me--the four greatest threat to American Democracy from out past.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great History
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020*

This was a very enlightening book about several periods of American history that I had not understood - the Alien and Sedition Act, the election of 1800, the mechanisms for the failure of Reconstruction, and the environment around FDRs presidency. I feel like the civil war has been beaten to death as has Nixon’s presidency, but that may be my bias.Some parts of the book where very interesting. The framework is valuable, a list of four threats, but is not fully substantiated by evidence. I agree for example that economic inequality is terrible for a democracy but did not find it adequately defended in this book, it felt like a stretch.I liked the pillars of democracy as a better framework for understanding how a democracy falls apart more than these four threats.PBS recently had a documentary about the rise of Nazis - if you like this book and are curious how democracies fail, it’s a great documentary. It gives a real emotional sense of how things fall apart.I started this book before the election. Biden has won,  which should make me hopeful, but I’m not. And this book gives me the language to understand why I am still nervous about the US.
