The Road to Unfreedom: by Timothy Snyder | Conversation Starters
Political events in the past decade in Europe and America have seen Russia’s strong interference -- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s denunciation of the European Union, the Brexit referendum, and the election of Donald Trump. Yale history professor Timothy Snyder warns that the social, economic, and political repression in Russia could happen in the US and Europe. And yet, Snyder believes that though it all looks grim, people can still do something to prevent the worst from happening.
The Road to Unfreedom is another critically acclaimed book from the author of the bestselling On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century.
