History does not repeat, but it does instruct.

These include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow ('Take responsibility for the face of the world'), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent ('Investigate'), and an encouragement to use personalised and individualised speech rather than cliched phrases when arguing a point ('Be kind to our language'). 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. A captivating graphic edition of Timothy Snyder's bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting the arc toward authoritarianism, featuring the dazzling storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug.
