Primer. Yale history professor Timothy Snyder offers readers a short book titled, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, that provides a primer on what the recent century might teach us about what is necessary to be done today. Any engaged citizen with concerns about our current political environment can spend a worthwhile half hour reading the lessons that Snyder offers. Whether you think our current divisive politics is a feature or a bug, there’s much to reflect on in this short volume. You may disagree with Snyder, but spending a few minutes thinking about this topic will be time well spent. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase On Tyranny from amazon.com.
