On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder

4.0

Written in 2017, this book sadly has become a prescient text. Some threads were already in evidence in 2017 but more of the 20 lessons have become evident since then. And yes, it focuses on Trump as a warning, but as a Brit there are also things to concern us that are already happening. It left me wondering what the US and UK elections of 2024 will bring us, will we have paid attention to the lessons that are now so obvious or allow things to get worse? The final few lessons are advice about what we can do, sadly the ones who need that message won't read it.
