#1 New York Times Bestseller - A historian of fascism offers a guide for surviving and resisting America's turn towards authoritarianism. 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. "Mr. Snyder is a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present." -- The New York Times

Reviews
"We are rapidly ripening for fascism. This American writer leaves us with no illusions about ourselves." -- Svetlana Alexievich, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature "Timothy 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. Put a copy in your pocket and one on your bedside table, and it will help you keep going for the next four years or however long it takes." -- Masha Gessen "Easily the most compelling volume among the early resistance literature. . . . A slim book that fits alongside your pocket Constitution and feels only slightly less vital. . . . Clarifying and unnerving. . . . A memorable work that is grounded in history yet imbued with the fierce urgency of what now." --Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post " On Tyranny demands to be read." -- The Forward "Bracing . . . On Tyranny is a call to action. . . . a brisk read packed with lucid prose." -- Vox , "Timothy 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.

Absolutely essential reading for all Americans in Trump's march to tyranny.
The author's expertise on Eastern Europe turns on the lights to what is happening to our nation under the Trump administration. We Americans cannot continue to believe that our institutions will protect us from the experience of other great nations, or that we are "exceptional" in our existence. This succinct little book lays it out for us, not only the similarities of what is happening here and what has happened elsewhere, but with pointed strategies for resisting it. A quick read--that you will likely want to reread and share with others. And it is dirt cheap, as well.
After reading On Tyranny from the library, I immediately ordered 3 copies: one for myself to highlight, one for my children, and one for friends. The book is a dire warning on the direction we as a country are headed if we don't wake up. We are handing unlimited power to men with no moral core. I thought I had a handle on our current situation, but this little book has opened my eyes and stiffened my spine. For my children and my country.
This is a very short and easy read but it gives you the background you need to assess what is happening in the US and what can happen. It has all happened before at other times in other countries and everyone thought "it can't happen here" until it was too late. Get this book and read it as soon as you are able.
