On Tyranny Graphic Edition

Timothy Snyder"'s New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow (""4: Take responsibility for the face of the world""), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent (""11: Investigate""), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal (""9: Be kind to our language""), and more. In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging-at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories-to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder"'s riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.
