The case for democracy
Book • 2004
In this book, Natan Sharansky and Ron Dermer make a compelling case for the spread of democracy as essential for overcoming tyranny and terror.
Sharansky, drawing from his experiences as a Soviet dissident, argues that democracy can thrive even in societies previously deemed unsuitable for it, citing examples from post-WWII Germany and Japan, as well as his own experiences in the USSR.
The authors emphasize the importance of freedom and democratic principles in achieving peace and stability, particularly in the context of Arab-Israeli relations and global politics.
