A Quiet Revolution

Product Information
In this book, Richard Martin has dramatically portrayed the events which took place in an American community where free people, resorting to the ballot box, completely restructuring their form of local government. It is the story of a long, hard-fought struggle of a community to resurrect itself and to free itself from the shackles of corruption and an archaic structure of government unresponsive to the needs of its citizens. A quiet non-violent revolution took place and gave new and refreshing evidence that the democratic process in local government can work. In these days of belief and disbelief, accord and discord, and agreement and divisiveness among our people, it is refreshing to see a community unite for its common good.

The 350-page paperback is a must-read for anyone interested in local history and politics. Martin has combined hundreds of first-person interviews, enlightening anecdotes and clever writing to weave a story that is as amazing as it is true.
