Democracy: A Very Short Introduction
by Bernard Crick
challenging
informative
medium-paced
A very engaging and thought provoking book, perfect for those who are just beginning to dip their toes into the world of politics. While this book may be small, it covers a very diverse range of topics related to democracy, both in a historical context and in a modern sense, and it invites you to think about these topics and how they relate to and affect your life.
The author does a very good job at explaining his ideas in a simple and uncomplicated yet engaging manner.
While I found the final two chapters the most interesting, the rest of the book was also gave me lots to think about. This historical evolution of democracy as a concept was especially interesting to me.
All in all, a good place to start. Enough detail and examples that you understand the points being made, but not so much that you get lost in it. Clear and engaging.
