Review: Easily one of the most interesting and informative books I ... - Easily one of the most interesting and informative books I have read. Rice does an excellent job of laying out the prerequisites for the development of a new democracy. She then views the struggles many countries have had as they trudge the road to democracy through these conditions. Going through the USA, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Colombia, Kenya and many Middle East countries she does an excellent job of informing the reader of their history and conditions. Even if you are not an expert on each region of the world, Rice provides the perfect background. The morning after the 2016 election I posted on social media that "Condeleeza Rice could still be our first woman President". I still hope she is, what a fantastic American. I just hope the future leaders of our country are packing her classrooms at Stanford and taking in her intelligence.
Review: Everyone Should Read this Book - The book "Democracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom" is a priceless book. Given current times, no matter the political affiliation you may have, this book is a critical read. Dr. Condoleezza Rice is such a brilliant woman. The book evokes many emotions with the discussion of the successes of establishing a democratic government and also, over time, the failures. It is wonderful to read about people that want the types of freedom a democratic government affords to the people, and how many have fought so hard to achieve it. It is good to be reminded of those things to reignite the appreciation for what the United States of America enjoys while at all times remembering the enormous cost.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good education for the less enlightened.
*by H***L on January 17, 2018*

First off I have to say that I am an admirer of Condi Rice, her service, her intellect and her writing abilities and although I do not give this book a five star I enjoyed it very much. There are just too many 5s out there in Amazon world for ordinary authors and books. I thoroughly enjoyed her family background book and also No Higher Honor about her time in government service. In this tome she takes larger snapshots of how democracies have succeeded and failed around the world and succeeds in her commentary. A good education for those who haven't completed PoliSci
