Drawing on Natan Sharansky’s lived experience as a KGB prisoner and Jewish leader, the book is presented as both a moral plea and a practical guide for promoting democratic values. Commentators highlight its relevance for U.S. policymakers and its optimism rooted in Sharansky’s years of imprisonment, including respect for Palestinians and faith in democratic change.","The

vigor,argued with panache and imbued with thefierce conviction of a man who grew up in a society where‘every typewriter had to be registered with the authorities.'”—The New York Times  \n\"In the hands of U.S.policy makers,[The Case for Democ-racy]can be a blueprint for measurable,positive change notjust in the Palestinian Authority but in the Arab world as awhole.”—National Review  \n\"Natan Sharansky..has written a provocative and impor-tant book that has already attained a great deal of influ-ence.\"—Philadelphia Inquirer  \n“[The Case for Democracy]is the perfect gift...for friendsor family members on the political right who think that theArabs or Muslims are too primitive for freedom and democ-racy and who worry that for America to promote freedomand democracy in the Middle East would jeopardize Ameri-can interests.It is also the perfect gift for friends or familymembers on the political left who think that freedom anddemocracy can't be exported by America,or that to do so isa form of imperialism.\"—New York Sun  \n“The Case for Democracy is suffused with the optimismthat sustained Sharansky during his years of imprisonment.He conveys a genuine love for the Jewish people,respect forordinary Palestinians,and faith in democracy.It's hard toimagine a more compelling advocate for the cause of free-dom.\"—Commentary  \n\"[The Case for Democracy]is a powerful argument forspreading freedom around the world as the ultimateweapon against totalitarian societies and fundamentalistmovements.—Cal Thomas,Virginian-Pilot  \n\"Natan Sharansky explains,clearly and cogently,the link-ages between freedom and peace and between tyranny andterror.In the light of these two linkages and of his own per-sonal experiences of both,he compares the successful end-ing of the Cold War with the stalled peace process in theMiddle East;Helsinki with Oslo.This is a brave book by abrave man—an eloquent plea for moral clarity,and a fineexample of it.”—Bernard Lewis,Professor Emeritus,Princeton University  \n\"Natan Sharansky has written a book about a concept thatserves America's interests and America's values;to wit,theabsolute necessity to encourage democracies in some of themost difficult places in the world,because authoritarian andtotalitarian governments are inherently unreliable in termsof their commitments to peace and co-existence.He drawsupon his unique experiences with the Soviet Union and withIsrael to make his case in specific terms.That case is a com-pelling one.”—Mort Zuckerman,Editor-in-Chief,US NewsWorld Report  \n\"As KGB prisoner,human rights hero and Jewish leader,Natan Sharansky has lived at the very center of the historyof our time.In this extraordinary book,he brings his pas-sion,experience,and intellect to make the case,long over-looked and denigrated,for the power of freedom ininternational affairs.The Case for Democracy is both arebuke and a challenge to all conventional thinking.It mustbe read.”—Dr.Charles
