Offers twenty lessons drawn from the rise and fall of authoritarian dictatorships in the twentieth century for dealing with threats to democracy, ethics, and social norms now. - Random House, Inc.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠A âbracingâ (Vox) guide for surviving and resisting Americaâs turn towards authoritarianism, from âa rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and presentâ (The New York Times)
âTimothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. He has written the rare kind of book that can be read in one sitting but will keep you coming back to help regain your bearings.ââMasha Gessen
The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.
On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.
