BUrger, Chief Justice (ret. ) Supreme Court of the United States. Written in an exciting, easy to read style, with a foreword by Warren E. Burger, Chief Justice (ret. ) of the U.S. Supreme Court, this documents the evolutionary process by which the United States democracy was formed & how it operates. The reader is led in a subtle, friendly & interesting manner through relevant events & processes. It acknowledges the important roles that documents & agreements by earlier leaders had in laying the foundation, beginning with the Magna Carta in 1215 & the Dutch Great Privilege in 1477. The extensive indexes--biographical & subject--make it a significant resource as an encyclopedia. Interwoven are names & deeds of those who made significant contributions to the origin & maintenance of this democracy.

The author has an ability to say things & move on. It is boiled down to the real meat & does not include puff. " Another Presidential candidate said, "It is indeed a fascinating, comprehensive account of United States history.
