Timothy Snyder, Nora Krug: On Tyranny (Paperback, 2021, Ten Speed Press) 5 stars

Review of 'On Tyranny' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Interesting Lessons, but obviously a shallower lead in for his other works

I thought this short treatise proposed valuable lessons distilled from Snyder’s deep knowledge of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust. His point is to illuminate warning signs of a liberal democracy heading toward fascism, and some of his thoughts on how we (as a collective body of citizens and as individuals) can prevent this fall. Overall, though, this is clearly a very digestible one hour read that summarizes themes present in his longer works, to which I plan to turn in due time.
