Moreover, the public's low trust in politicians suggests low expectations.How far is integrity in democratic political leadership a practical nonsense?Dr Malcolm Wood is an historian and a former senior executive in the Australian Public Service.

The story of one woman's amazing journey from American tourist to presidential advisor in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. This country, mythical land of the Golden Fleece and once known as the "End of the World," became her world for a time. During earthquakes, the fall of the Soviet Union, and a civil war, this American was admitted into the lives of a passionate people as their nation struggled for its freedom. "I watched the fall of the Soviet Union and its aftermath from this side of the world --the United States-- and the author has helped to fill out my understanding of what went on in Eastern Europe during that time. She has a profound love and appreciation of Georgian culture and people. Reading of her discoveries and work in that country, I feel like I have visited and known the people she describes. The influence she came to have in Georgia, and the things she was able to accomplish, is one for the storybooks, and all true! She gives a closer look at an important leader of the time, Eduard Shevardnadze. Her gift of description, whether observing compelling events or simple ways of life, is immense. It's a wonderful view into an ancient culture and a time that changed the world." ~ Peggy Woodruff, host at Classical 89 BYU
