Speakers: Timothy Snyder, Jonathan Freedland

Levin Professor of History at Yale Timothy Snyder joins us live from the US following the publication of a new graphic edition, with illustrations by Nora Krug, of his New York Times No.1 bestseller On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From The Twentieth Century. The winner of the Hannah Arendt Prize, the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding and the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Literature Award discusses his guide to surviving and resisting America’s arc toward authoritarianism, examining the darkest moments in recent history. Described as “a stunning reminder of the myriad, insidious forms oppression takes” by Star Wars director JJ Abrams and “vastly important, deeply affecting, powerful, magnificent” by The Ratline author Philippe Sands, this is a don’t-miss discussion of a must-read book. In conversation with Jonathan Freedland.
