Don't Weep for Me, America: How Democracy in America Became the Prince (While We Slept)

Curious about different points of view on American history and politics? Wondering about the state of affairs in the United States and the current situation in foreign and domestic arenas? Thinking that somehow the media and the government's version of recent events doesn't quite add up? Then Mark Watterson has some insights and ideas to add to the discussion.

Starting with historical and literary analysis, especially concerning Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville, and The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, Watterson marches through American history while looking through the lens of George Orwell's 1984. He combines current information with his own philosophy, urging the reader to action that culminates with an impassioned plea for a candidate for president, Ron Paul. Displaying a deep concern for his country, Watterson brings a fresh perspective to a lively political debate.
