On Tyranny

Short, punchy, to the point, and necessary. Since Snyder is a European historian, he necessarily draws his examples from Europe, but you don't have to reach that far back in U.S. history to think of analogous circumstances. His first takeaway is crucial: do not obey in advance.

Snyder's original, important Facebook post that was the basis of this book (bit.ly/2f7kouw) is better. Go read that if you haven't already, internalise it, and apply it to your future.
