À propos de cette écoute
#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.

Important to listen
Very informative and important text. And a MUST READ!!!
Nevertheless, it’s missing a part of the story. The United States of America have helped many countries (Indonesia, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Israel, Egypt, Hungary, Poland...) into subverting their own democratic systems... as imperfect as those were for many of them... and, many times, it happened before DJT... and then it has been accelerated under him. The Eastern European revolutions against communism must not be considered as panacea...
The intention of the book is laudable, but its blind spots will be exploited to justify both the failings of newly liberated democracies and the arguments pointing at those failings to say “why bother? it was for naught...”
