Democracy at both the local and national levels recently had been under savage assault. Martin Truth's fight was but one of many such struggles to restore the meaning of representative government to a system that had been corrupted by big money and corporate power. "An Unlikely Truth" is an engaging story offering a strategy for throwing the liars and crooks out of public office and restoring representative democracy to our country. More important, it embodies hope that not all is lost, that there is a "narrative" which can begin to put America back on track, render government again of the people, by the people, and for the people.
