Deal Details
Several Retailers have On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (eBook) by Timothy Snyder on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available: About this title:
  • 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. On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.

I've been reading a lot lately about the shifting nature of tyranny towards the technocrats and oligarchs, so I'm not sure how I feel padding the pockets of Bezos and Jassy with this.

But I'll put it on my library list!

Seems like only the fans on one side are the ones doing the beatings.

Quote from oregonwino :

Politics is now like professional sports, the fans beat the crap out of each other while the owners of the teams sit side by side in the same box and laugh their asses off. The elites have much more in common with each other than they do with any of us.

If you are already on the same side as the author, it's a great book.

As someone who reads a few books a year, mostly fictions to be honest, I found this book is terribly written, as a book. There is little or no connection between many of those 20 points and their following history stories in the same chapter. Does this book even have an editor, or maybe it's just someone's own lecture notes?

As someone who is still new to US politics and learning, I found this book full of hatred, just like many things happening now. Frown

If the author picked a side. It's useless.

Funny how you state that as a fact. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?
