From CNN's Chief Political Correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Dana Bash comes a riveting journey into the most crucial elections in history, from the throes and uprisings of Ancient Rome to the modern-day political climate that put today's leaders in power

This compelling book is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered Does my vote matter? and those who are curious about how our election systems came to be.
