Timothy Snyder, "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From The 20th Century"

Published on Mar 14, 2017 by Politics and Prose [ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT83IOUtKdPUL9hOzYjxbcQ / http://www.youtube.com/user/politicsprose , http://www.youtube.com/user/politicsprose/videos ]

Snyder is the award-winning author of Bloodlands and Black Earth, and his extensive study of the Holocaust has made him one of the foremost experts on authoritarian movements. In this brief and urgent [March 5, 2017 ( http://www.politics-prose.com/event/book/timothy-snyder-tyranny-twenty-lessons-twentieth-century )] call-to-action, Snyder, the Housum Professor of history at Yale, identifies striking parallels between the political landscape of pre-war Europe and today’s United States. History’s lessons are many, however, and while democracies can fail, they can also resist and grow stronger. From the examples of the twentieth century, Snyder has distilled twenty essential points that should guide the current struggle. They are as simple as “do not obey in advance” and “beware the one-party state,” and as inspiring as “contribute to good causes” and “learn from peers in other countries.”
