Description

A lot more has gone wrong in American politics over the last eight years than meets the eye and it will take more than a new President to create the kind of change that is necessary. Daybreak is a thorough investigation of how the Bush administration altered the way the American government works and deteriorated the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Swanson also makes clear plans for how the US can reclaim democracy. Shocking and inspirational, this is a clear breakdown of all that the US has lost, and a blueprint for all that can be regained.
