I just ordered this one because of your post.
I knew of the book but I had never read it. Now I'll be able to.

I would love to say enjoy the book, but honestly, it was terrifying. Not in a horror fiction kinda way, but in a holy crap this is exactly what we are going through.

You might also want to check out "How to become a Tyrant." It's a 6 episode documentary on Netflix.

As I was waking up this morning, I literally thought of this book and that I need to buy it. And his new one. I’ve wanted to for awhile, but this morning I had a stronger feeling.

Mine arrived today and I will start reading it soon.

It is fortunate Americans have been propogated to be weary of tyranny. Tyrants will use all issues to cultivate fear. It is the same liberties and freedoms they attack that they fear will upend their ability to manage fear and hatred amongst the masses. America is the home of the free and the brave

Rachel Maddow had this man on her program as a guest over a year ago. Bought the book then and it's well read.

I read this book yesterday. I agree, it is very good. Do read!

Professor Snyder himself recently said those 20 lessons are in the order in which a country moves toward autocracy. We should especially be looking at 15-20 now.

Also read his newer book “On Freedom”. It opens in Ukraine and he explains what Freedom is as a positive, what people need to be free, as opposed to Americans think Freedom is the absence of things like government. It is also free as an Audio if you subscribe to Spotify.
