"In a nutshell they aim to hollow out Democratic resistance...."

"And by it's own lights, the cause is nearing success."

From: "Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America"

An explosive exposé of the right’s relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, and change the Constitution.

This book is by Nancy MacLean who is is the award-winning author of "Behind the Mask of Chivalry" (a New York Times "noteworthy" book of the year) and "Freedom is Not Enough", which was called by the Chicago Tribune “contemporary history at its best.”

She is the William Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University, she lives in Durham, North Carolina.

If we want to know what we're truly up against and the long history of it - way back to James Buchanan, this is it.
