- Summary:
- O"How to Win an Election" was a delight--and "How to Run a Country" is even better. Cicero's acute observations about how to govern will resonate with everyone who recognizes that the tribalism, ideological extremism, and coarsened culture of politics today urgently need to change."--Norman J. Ornstein, co-author of "It's Even Worse Than It Looks."
