Description
The nation's top political scientists, historians, and legal scholars propose solutions for democracy's future
In recent years, the sight of gun-wielding citizens patrolling ballot boxes and voting sites has become increasingly familiar.. Major news corporations parroting false claims of election fraud, ballot stuffing, and faulty voting systems s the new normal. In an era of global anti-democratic movements, the sanctity of democratic electoral processes has become a major national security concern, and the need to protect elections from foreign interference, disinformation, voter intimidation, and the danger of election results being overturned, are now front and center. How did we get here? And more importantly, how will this affect the future of democracy?
Award-winning authors Julian E. Zelizer and Karen J. Greenberg bring together the nation’s top political scientists, historians, and legal scholars to examine how the lack of stability and integrity of the electoral process has become a threat to national security. Through historical and social scientific analysis, contributors outline how these problems have emerged and propose concrete solutions to move us into a period of greater stability. At once urgent and comprehensive, Our Nation at Risk is the preeminent book on election security and a must read for anyone invested in the fight for democracy.
Advance Praise
"An authoritative and fitting contribution to the myth-busting genre." ~The New York Times, Praise for Myth America, edited by Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer
"These essays treat readers to wonderfully accessible, jargon-free writing." ~The Washington Post, Praise for Myth America, edited by Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer
"Newt Gingrich tied American politics to a rock and threw it down a well. That rock is still falling. Julian Zelizer’s new book takes readers to the edge of that well, not to listen for the splash, but to grab the rope, and pull." ~Jill Lepore, Praise for Burning Down the House by Julian Zelizer
"Greenberg . . . a longtime critic of expanded state power after 9/11, draws a straight line between the early U.S. response to the attacks and the abuses of the Trump administration." ~Quinta Jurecic, The Washington Post, Praise for Subtle Tools by Karen Greenberg
"This is an expertly researched cri de coeur regarding recapturing the processes and procedures of American democracy, which Greenberg argues were lost in the 20 years between the 9/11 attacks and the present." ~Choice, Praise for Subtle Tools by Karen Greenberg
"Rogue Justice is Karen Greenberg’s splendid new book about all the ways liberty was assaulted in America in the decade after the cataclysm of 11 September 2001. By connecting so many of the dots in the War on Terror, the author has made her own very important contribution." ~The Guardian, Praise for Rogue Justice by Karen Greenberg
"Detailed and meticulously researched... [an] excellent book... [and] an unflinching document." ~Just Security, Praise for Rogue Justice by Karen Greenberg
"My suspicion is that once you start reading these stellar entries, you will want to read (and teach) the rest. This book manages to achieve a rare thing. It is a work of reference that is enjoyable to read, even in the somewhat artificial way a reviewer must: cover to cover." ~Legacy
"Here is a wealth of wise and authoritative essays on threats to our democracy, present and past. Karen Greenberg and Julian Zelizer have assembled some of the nation's most brilliant scholars of politics, law, and history to explain the roots of the current crisis and how we might resolve it. A splendid volume of scholarly wisdom that anyone who cares about the American future should read." ~Michael Kazin, author of What it Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party
