Description
This Czech-language book by historian Timothy Snyder, one of today’s leading intellectuals, contributes to the current debate about the future of liberal democracy, following his major historical works Bloodlands and The Black Earth. Twenty lessons from twentieth-century European history show that the collapse of society, democracy and morality, as well as our personal failures during political crises, are not unimaginable. Our parents and grandparents, driven by the irrational myths of fascism, Nazism and communism, built walls against disturbing global threats. We are certainly no wiser than they were, but we have the advantage of being able to learn from their experience and resist emerging tyrannies in time. According to Snyder, the current political developments in America and Europe make this the right moment to do so.
