On tyranny - Timothy Snyder

A captivating graphic edition of Timothy Snyder's bestselling
book of lessons for surviving and resisting the arc toward authoritarianism.


Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny is one of the essential books of recent years, using the
darkest moments in twentieth-century history to teach twenty lessons on
resisting modern-day authoritarianism. These include a warning to be aware of
how symbols used today could affect tomorrow, an urgent reminder to research
everything for yourself and to the fullest extent, and an encouragement to
use personalised and individualised speech rather than clichd phrases when
arguing a point


In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive style in
Heimat - at once a
graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative and trove of
memories - to breathe new life, colour and power into Snyder's modern
classic, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually
striking rumination and call for action.
