Brian Plunkett reviewed On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder
On Tyranny (Graphic Edition) - 4 Stars
4 stars
I had been meaning to read this for a while, but it took on greater urgency after the 2024 election. It's an eye-opening book that provides essential historical context and important insights into how tyrants rise to power. Since this is the graphic edition, there's a note at the end by the illustrator, Nora Krug, explaining some the choices she made with the artwork ... very interesting.
