Publisher Description
As the practice of democracy becomes a lost art, Americans are becoming increasingly desperate for a restored nation. Many have a general sense that the "system" is in disorder, if not on the road to functional collapse. Although it is easy to identify our political problems, the solutions are not always as clear. In Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries, bestselling author Naomi Wolf illustrates the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells you how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community, and ultimately the nation.

"This was a fantastic book full of a substantial amount of information regarding how to become active citizens. It explained a great deal about how to conquer the obstacles placed in the way of average citizens to truly understand the political world and how it works. This book gave a lot of practical ideas and real time solutions for any who are overwhelmed by politics, by how to exercise our rights and by what power we as citizens of the United States actually possess. This book truly was a wealth of information and gave me a much greater understanding of the Constitution, the three branches of government and how this country can and should work. I would highly recommend this book to all citizens of the United States."

" A tad heavy on the hyperbole, but I appreciated the very real infringements on our liberties being carried out each day in a land no longer entirely free. I'm glad I read it. "
— Jessica, 11/23/2012 -
" Passionate, but she overruns herself, and her passion is often not tempered with a well-considered line of thought. She's angry, like many of us, but this could have been a much better book, if she'd done a bit more research. "
