Review
“‘In this important analysis of democratic thought and treatise on leadership, historian Tom Wren drills down to the essential intellectual paradox: that “leadership” and “democracy” are inherently hostile ideas. Wren brilliantly strips down our “fictions” regarding these domains in his intensive deconstruction of each classical and fashionable thought. What emerges is a dialectical awakening and a sensible new imaginative and prescient of citizen participation and enlightened management.’ – Georgia Sorenson, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland, College Park and US Army ‘Tom Wren’s e-book is a masterpiece of mental historical past. It explores the philosophical and historic foundations of democracy in a compelling method. Wren is a glowing and swish author. He makes a probably dry topic come alive with wit and perception. The points Wren addresses are extraordinarily well timed, because the United States endeavors to advance democracy within the Middle East.’ – George Goethals, University of Richmond, US”
