"The first democracy, established in ancient Greece more than 2,500 years ago, has served as the foundation for every democratic system of government instituted down the centuries. In this lively history, author Thomas N.

King John of England was only the latest and most conspicuous in a gallery of bad lords who dominated the populace instead of ruling it.
