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

2.25

A pocket-sized book for the privileged American in your life who subscribes to respectability politics and thinks Trump was an aberration in American history. There are some good points, especially in the epilogue re: ahistorical politics of inevitability/eternity and elsewhere re: technological tyranny and engagement at the local level, but for the most part the book is too surface level and couched in a stifling white liberalism to teach most people anything.
