ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder explores the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of democracy through twenty historical lessons drawn from 20th-century Europe.

The book emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, ethical conduct, and resistance to tyranny, urging citizens to be vigilant and active in defending truth, institutions, and freedoms. The work blends historical analysis with a call to action for safeguarding democratic values in modern societies.
