**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** 'A sort of survival book, a sort of
symptom-diagnosis manual in terms of losing your democracy and what
tyranny and authoritarianism look like up close' Rachel Maddow
'These 128 pages are a brief primer in every important thing we
might have learned from the history of the last century, and all
that we appear to have forgotten' Observer History does not repeat,
but it does instruct. In the twentieth century, European
democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism. These
were movements in which a leader or a party claimed to give voice
to the people, promised to protect them from global existential
threats, and rejected reason in favour of myth. European history
shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can
collapse, and ordinary people can find themselves in unimaginable
circumstances. History can familiarise, and it can warn. Today, we
are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to
totalitarianism in the twentieth century. But when the political
order seems imperilled, our advantage is that we can learn from
their experience to resist the advance of tyranny. Now is a good
time to do so.
