This book is a short account of the history of the doctrine and practice of democracy, from ancient Greece and Rome through the American, French, and Russian revolutions, and of the usages and practices associated with it in the modern world. It argues that democracy is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for good government, and that ideas of the rule of law, and of human rights, should in some situations limit democratic claims.

This is classic Bernard Crick. Brief yet complete in analysis; clear and still addressing all the complexities of "real democracy" and civic government, in contrast to the unrealities of the present popular entertainment masquerading as politics.
Highly recommended to both the advanced and starting student in political ideas: history or politics, as well as to the scholar who wants a refreshing perspective on an old idea.
