Beschreibung
In this New York Times bestseller, Timothy Snyder draws twenty lessons from twentieth-century history. European democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism as leaders and parties claimed to speak for the people, promised protection from global existential threats and replaced reason with myth. History shows that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse and ordinary people can face unimaginable circumstances. Although history does not repeat itself, it instructs and warns. When the political order seems imperilled, we can learn from the experience of those who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism and use that knowledge to resist tyranny.
