We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis as well as removing any fluff to save you hours of your time. This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. With lessons from the rise of communist and fascist regimes in Europe during the previous century, Snyder provides a blueprint for how we can protect the basic rights promised in our constitution through the mundane choices we make every day and the difficult choices we may be forced to make in the near future. As our political system faces new threats-not unlike those faced by democracies in the twentieth century-we must look to the past to safeguard our future.

Too easily are we ignoring the ways in which tyranny starts to eat away at democracy. In On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, Timothy Snyder provides a stark warning for the future of American democracy. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century! Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. As he writes, Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism and communism. Short on time? Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. With Twenty Lessons, Snyder draws from the darkest hours of the twentieth century to provide hope for the twenty-first. *PLEASE NOTE: This concise summary is unofficial and is not authorized, approved, licensed, or endorsed by the original book's publisher or author.*
