“Gary Hart’s intelligence is mixed with a gift for practicality and simplicity, and he is one of the most prescient and important public voices in public life. This book is another incredible example of the power of Gary’s voice and how urgent the situation is right now for things to change. This essay examines how the restoration of the republic is the best way to save American democracy. Having read it, as well as having the privilege of sitting on his deck in Colorado talking with him, I am sure you will agree with me at how lucky this country is to have Gary Hart’s voice, one that has been in service to this republic for most of his life.”
- Hugh Jackman
“Gary Hart has always been a thoughtful man and he has written a thoughtful book; a warning, that teeters at times on the brink of despair. If the United States continues down the path that Donald Trump forged, Hart fears, then we are well on our way to losing our republic. If that prospect alarms you, read this slim volume . . . and buy another copy for a friend.”
–Ted Koppel
“Gary Hart’s eloquent call to action could not be more timely. This important new book makes a compelling argument that saving American democracy demands restoring our republic and reinvigorating the civic virtues that sustain it. At this moment of maximum peril, every patriotic American should read what Senator Hart has to say.”
– Laurence H. Tribe, University Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus, Harvard University
“In this clearly and vigorously written book, former Senator Gary Hart invokes the historic tradition of republicanism, with its prescriptions of popular sovereignty, anti-corruption, and civic virtue, as the best means for saving our beleaguered democracy. His words of wisdom are all the more effective and worth listening to because, as a scholar of history and a participant in government, Hart knows more than most of us about both the outside and the inside of our politics.”
–Gordon S. Wood, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution
“I think it’s terrific! Short, concise, and powerful in its clarity.”
–William Cohen, Former Secretary of Defense and Senator for Maine
