About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The number one New York Times best seller, now in an expanded audiobook edition that includes detailed historical context for the democracy-threatening Ukrainian conflict and a call to action for modern times.

This edition includes the best-selling original On Tyranny, read by the author.

In this exclusive audiobook edition, which includes eight hours of new content, Timothy Snyder combines the original On Tyranny (2017)—20 lessons on how history can instruct our response to the rise of tyranny around the world today—with 20 new lessons that answer the questions everyone is asking about Russia's war on Ukraine. With forays into history, he clarifies the causes of the Russian invasion and the meaning of Ukrainian resistance, and explains the war's connections to threats to democracy around the world. Linking past and present, and speaking only from notes, Snyder delivers an important call to arms and roadmap for resistance, providing invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come. This is the long view we all need, given to us right now by a leading expert.

Critic reviews

"Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. He has written the rare kind of book that can be read in one sitting but will keep you coming back to help regain your bearings." (Masha Gessen, about On Tyranny)

All stars

No one has ever provided clearer analysis of what is at stake and what Europeans, NATo and the EU should do to support Ukraine, to fight Putin’s regime and to ultimatelly also help Russia and the rest of the world to come out of this mess. Let us put an end to the politics of Empire and concentrate on our common future ahead. Many thanks to this brilliant historian for his excellent analysis and for his passionate love for freedom.

Snyder is a crusially important person for our democracies

This is an incredible piece of knowledge.
You should read ( or listen) to it.
I wish it would be a part of any syllabus, from middle school to academy.

A humbling experience
