À propos de cet audio
The #1 New York Times bestseller, now in an expanded audiobook edition that includes detailed historical context for the democracy-threatening Ukrainian conflict and a call to action for modern times.
This edition includes the bestselling original essay collection On Tyranny, read by the author.
In this exclusive audiobook edition, which includes eight hours of new content, Snyder combines the original essays from On Tyranny with twenty new lessons that answer the questions everyone is asking about this war. With forays into history, he clarifies the causes of the Russian invasion and the meaning of Ukrainian resistance, and explains the war's connections to threats to democracy here in the United States and around the world. Linking past and present, speaking only from notes, he guides the listener into the larger moral universe of On Tyranny.
This edition also includes On Tyranny, the bestselling essay collection that illustrates how various countries and governments have managed to protect against totalitarianism throughout history despite ever-present threats from many factions. Snyder cautions that unless we learn from these disruptive and disturbing occurrences, they will continue. This important call to arms and roadmap for resistance provides invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.
“Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. He has written the rare kind of book that can be read in one sitting but will keep you coming back to help regain your bearings.”—Masha Gessen, about On Tyranny

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 75
With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. But we now know this to be premature. Authoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system dedicated solely to the consolidation and exercise of power. In the last six years, it has creeped from east to west as nationalism inflames Europe, abetted by Russian propaganda and cyberwarfare.

We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents. But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 20
In the late 19th century, demand for fur was in sharp decline. This could have spelled economic disaster for the venerable Hudson's Bay Company. But an idea emerged in political and business circles in Ottawa and Montreal to connect the disparate British colonies into a single entity that would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With over 3,000 kilometers of track, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain, the CPR would be the longest railroad in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era.

On a small two-lane bridge in a rural county that loathes the federal government, the US Army uses lethal force to end a standoff with hard-right anti-government patriots. Inside an ordinary diner, a disaffected young man with a handgun takes aim at the American president stepping in for an impromptu photo-op, and a bullet splits the hyper-partisan country into violently opposed mourners and revelers.

The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.

Don’t waste your time on this Democratic slanted fable.
This book was a extremely disappointing book. It was an outdated account of the 2016 election, nothing about CPC, nothing about coronavirus, nothing about the lies to support the 2020 election. It was biased and so far left, it was pathetic. No indication of such a limited perspective. You may left or right, but this book was a poor attempt at selling a Democratic stance. Disappointed to say the least.

Good book, yet also disappointed
The original On Tyranny is 1 hr and 47 mins. If you have seen videos of Timothy Snyder on YouTube/other types who talk about tyranny, the 20 lessons of tyranny won't really be anything new. So the less you know about tyranny, the more informative you will find the 20 lessons.
As for the "Updated with Twenty New Lessons from Russia's War on Ukraine," I was thinking it would be an expansion on the first 20 lessons and how they apply, but it's more of a Ukrainian history lesson, which I found to be informative, but not what I was looking for.
If you want to save money or don't care for a history lesson on Ukraine, but the original On Tyranny; otherwise buy the updated version of On Tyranny.

Trump Derangement Syndrome as academic essay.
If you believe Trump is evil, and half the West are secret Russian Nazis who must be opposed on everything at all times, this is the book for you.
Snyder is well read, eloquent, and paints narratives coherently. He just can't imagine that any moral being could see things differently than him.
Here is an elite who truly believes his own bias and hubris.
