A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder's bestselling book of lessons for surviving and
resisting America's arc toward authoritarianism featuring the visual storytelling talents of
renowned illustrator Nora Krug. 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 cliched 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into Snyder's riveting historical references turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into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.
