In his forthcoming book, "Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution," Turley explores how the unique origins of American democracy set it apart from other revolutions, whether it can survive and thrive in the 21st century and how the unfinished story of the revolution will play out in a rapidly changing world.
