BooksOn Tyranny Graphic Edition
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scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories—to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder’s riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination.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.

Historical analysis of twentieth-century authoritarianism provides essential lessons for preserving democratic institutions today, as demonstrated in the widely read volume On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Timothy Snyder, born August 18, 1969, is an American historian and scholar whose research into Central and Eastern European history, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust connects historical atrocities with contemporary political vulnerabilities.
Snyder built his career as a leading historian specializing in Eastern European history and the mechanics of political tyranny. He served as the Richard C. Levin Professor of History at Yale University and holds a permanent fellowship at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. He also holds the inaugural Temerty Chair in Modern European History at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto. Beyond his university appointments, Snyder is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and served on the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Reading ten European languages and speaking five, he has written sixteen books published in forty languages.
Snyder's writing bridges rigorous archival research and accessible civic instruction, drawing direct connections between twentieth-century totalitarian systems and contemporary democratic challenges. His work analyzes how mass violence, state propaganda, and ideological extremism undermine human rights and democratic governance. In On Freedom, Snyder extends his political philosophy by exploring the positive conditions necessary for genuine personal and political liberty. Across his major writings, he emphasizes individual responsibility, critical historical literacy, and active participation as vital safeguards against tyrannical shifts.
