Vastly important, deeply affecting, powerful, magnificent -- Philippe Sands, author of East West Street and The Ratline A more concise, profound, or essential book on the subject does not exist. Snyder's masterwork is a stunning reminder of the myriad, insidious forms oppression takes. Now beautifully illustrated by Nora Krug, On Tyranny is a bellwether for what we must be awake to, and fight against -- J.J. Abrams, filmmaker, Star Trek and Star Wars: The Force Awakens Timothy Snyder is brilliant. On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook... a manual for how to protect and preserve Democracy. Listen, learn, be kind and courageous. This stunning new edition beautifully illustrated by Nora Krug makes the lessons jump off the page, into our hearts, filling us with the urgent imperative: act now, before it is too late -- Ken Burns, filmmaker We are often told to visualize things that are crucial to commit to memory. In the graphic edition of On Tyranny, Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the 20th century which will serve all citizens as we shape the future -- Shepard Fairey, artist and activist On Tyranny is one of the most important books of our time, and Krug enriches Snyder's powerful, accessible text with a transcendent humanity. This book should be read and experienced by everyone, its lessons carved into our hearts -- Nate Powell, graphic novelist, March and Save It for Later It is impossible to overstate the urgency of Timothy Snyder's handbook for recognizing and resisting the normalization of barbarism. Nora Krug illustrates with soulful beauty and the moral clarity of an artist who never flinches. The combination is as hopeful as it is devastating. Krug's illustrated edition of On Tyranny is more than an instant classic. It is an act of resistance - and a gift of love -- Joshua Oppenheimer, filmmaker, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence
