Book excerpt: "I neither love a slave nor fear a tyrant." John Lilburne, head of the Levellers and one of the 17th Century's most vivid figures, spelled out to the English the true meaning of democracy. He stopped at nothing to further his cause-whether it meant attacking Cromwell or King Charles I, or "stage managing" his own trial for life as though it were a play. "...successfully conveys the nature of his personality as well as his ideas...authoritative and illuminating..."--C.V. Wedgwood, Daily Telegraph.
