About this listen

From CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Dana Bash comes a riveting historical 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

Elections can usher in economic prosperity, fresh solutions for calcified problems, and new policies that improve the lives of citizens everywhere. They can lead to a war, resource scarcity, and a loss of values once held dear. In other words, elections matter, sometimes in ways we can’t even anticipate.

Beloved CNN correspondence Dana Bash and celebrated writer David Fisher take readers on a journey through the most consequential elections in global history, beginning at the dawn of civilization up through the present day. From the voting practices of ancient Rome to little-known local elections that created ripples around the world, 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.
