This graphic edition of Timothy Snyder’s bestselling work presents vital lessons for resisting America's drift toward authoritarianism, enhanced by renowned illustrator Nora Krug's visual storytelling. Snyder draws on the darkest moments of the twentieth century, from Nazism to Communism, to convey twenty lessons on modern resistance. Key lessons include recognizing the impact of symbols on the future (“4: Take responsibility for the face of the world”), the necessity of independent research (“11: Investigate”), and the importance of using personalized language rather than clichés (“9: Be kind to our language”). Krug's inventive art style, reminiscent of her work in Belonging, transforms Snyder’s historical insights into a visually striking guide. This edition serves as a poignant reminder of the need for active, conscious participation in resisting authoritarianism during uncertain times.
