A captivating graphic edition of Timothy Snyder's bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting the arc toward authoritarianism.

Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny is one of the essential books of recent years, using the darkest moments in twentieth-century history to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. These include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow, an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent, and an encouragement to use personalised and individualised speech rather than clichéd phrases when arguing a point

In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive style in Heimat - at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative and trove of memories - to breathe new life, colour and power into Snyder's modern classic, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination and call for action.

'On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook' Ken Burns

History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasises the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

 
 

Review

Vastly important, deeply affecting, powerful, magnificent -- Philippe Sands, author of East West Street and The Ratline

A more concise, profound, or essential book on the subject does not exist -- J.J. Abrams, filmmaker, Star Trek and Star Wars: The Force Awakens

On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook... a manual for how to protect and preserve Democracy -- Ken Burns, filmmaker

Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the 20th century -- Shepard Fairey, artist and activist

One of the most important books of our time... This book should be read and experienced by everyone, its lessons carved into our hearts -- Nate Powell, graphic novelist, March and Save It for Later

Krug's illustrated edition of On Tyranny is more than an instant classic. It is an act of resistance - and a gift of love -- Joshua Oppenheimer, filmmaker, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence

A chilling description of how authoritarian mindsets work -- Hillary Clinton
