"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century" by Timothy Snyder
Yale historian of Eastern Europe notes 20 lessons to learn from his study of totalitrian regimes for today. Written in 2017, it hits a bit harder in 2025. Reading it today for no particular reason.
Verdict: Snyder comes off as very self-assured, which may turn off some people. But the lessons are timely and still worth learning.
