The Language of Liberty: A Citizen’s Vocabulary is a substantive lexicon of 101 political terms with explorations of each term’s meaning in the broader context of American life and history. Addressing nearly every aspect of our political system, and doing so in a non-partisan, accessible manner, it reads like an owner’s manual for American government. This book is timeless, yet needed now more than ever.
