NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder’s lessons for surviving and resisting America’s arc toward authoritarianism; featuring the visual storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug “Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the twentieth century; which will serve all citizens as we shape the future.”—Shepard Fairey; artist and activist 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 clichéd 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scrapbook; historical narrative; and trove of memories—to breathe new life; color; and power into Snyder’s riveting historical references; turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination.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.
