I am finishing up The Testimony of Two Men by Taylor Caldwell.It is the story of a doctor accused of crimes he did not committ set in the early 1900's. It is a good story and I remembered enjoying it. I had read this years and years ago--probably over 25 years ago and was stunned at the political predictions that she made that are now coming true.

One example where the main character says "We are a republic, but I fear we will slide into a democracy. A democracy slides into despotism."

I have read a lot of Taylor Caldwell's books. They are great. Can't say I was ever disappointed with any of them. My government teacher in High School was also a part time state trooper and he told me to read Captains and Kings. Said it was pretty accurate about the way things are.
