Lessons from History to Resist Tyranny
Democracy, though cherished, is not indestructible. It thrives on active participation and vigilance, yet history shows how quickly it can erode when complacency sets in. The book On Tyranny Synder serves as a stark reminder of this truth, drawing from the darkest chapters of the twentieth century to illuminate dangers facing modern societies. Written as a guide for citizens, it distills twenty lessons from Europe’s descent into authoritarianism, urging readers to recognize subtle shifts toward oppression. Each lesson is a call to action, rooted in the belief that history does not repeat but instructs, offering wisdom to safeguard freedoms.
