#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “bracing” (Vox) guide for surviving and resisting America’s turn towards authoritarianism, from “a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present” (The New York Times)
“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.”—Masha 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.

Customers say
Customers find the book easy to read and well-written. They appreciate the concise, important information and the chilling warning about what could happen in the United States. The presentation style is described as incisive, simple, and down-to-earth. Opinions differ on the stance on fascism, with some finding it valuable commentary on freedom, justice, truth, and the means by which we retain them. However, some readers feel that it connects the past to the present in a digestible way that pushes us to plan for the future.
