Learn moreAmerica's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann paves the way to saving our democracy.
In this powerful, sweeping history and analysis of American democracy, Thom Hartmann shows how democracy is the one form of governance most likely to produce peace and happiness among people.
With the violent exception of the Civil War, American democracy resisted the pressure to disintegrate into factionalism for nearly two centuries, and now our very system of democratic elections is at stake. So how do we save our democracy?
Hartmann's newest book in the celebrated Hidden History Series offers a clear call to action and a set of solutions with road maps for individuals and communities to follow to create a safer, more just society and a more equitable and prosperous economy.
Thom Hartmannย is a fourโtime winner of the Project Censored Award, aย New York Timesย bestselling author of over thirty books, and America's #1 progressive talk radio show host for more than a decade. His show is carried on SiriusXM and radio stations nationwide and simulcast as television on Free Speech TV.
Reviews
Thom Hartmann is America's history teacher, a national treasure laying it out scary and clear: tyranny can happen here.-Mimi Kennedy, actress and Board Member, Progressive Democrats of America
Hartmann knows how to communicate importance to everyone, regardless of their self-described political persuasions. Because he is by far the most erudite longtime national radio talk show host, he has had an uncanny sense of retrieving critical segments of American history ignored by historians.

[Hartmann's] Hidden History series of books fills the gaps in American history textbooks, showing the dark side of American healthcare, law, policing, and more.
