SNYDER, TIMOTHY
Timothy Snyders New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow (4: Take responsibility for the face of the world), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent (11: Investigate), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal (9: Be kind to our language), and more.
In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belongingat once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memoriesto breathe new life, color, and power into Snyders riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.
