    About this ebook

    On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder

    “Timothy Snyder’s book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century is now a celebrated #1 New York Times bestselling book. In his book, Snyder talked about the foresight of the founding fathers of this nation. He says that they tried to protect us from the threat that they knew about. That is the tyranny that can overcome ancient democracy. Today, the political order is facing new threats. This is unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. Snyder argues that we are no wiser than the Europeans who came before us. They saw democracy and still yielded to fascism, communism, and Nazism. Our only advantage is that we can learn much from their experience.”
