With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be final. Observers were confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Putin found fascist ideas that could be used to justify rule by the wealthy. In the 2010s, it has spread from east to west, aided by Russian warfare in Ukraine and cyberwar and information war in Europe and the United States. Russia found allies among nationalists, oligarchs, and radicals everywhere, and its drive to dissolve Western institutions, states, and values found resonance within the West itself. The rise of populism, the British vote against the EU, and the election of Donald Trump were all Russian goals, but their achievement reveals the vulnerability of Western societies and the uncertain character of Western political order. Snyder exposes the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. By revealing the stark choices before us - between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood - Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty. Timothy Snyder is a professor of history at Yale University and the author of the books Black Earth, and Bloodlands.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C153623</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C153623</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Snyder, Timothy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/153623195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Russia, Europe, America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525574460/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA["Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on new sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, Black Earth recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think, and thus all the more terrifying. The Holocaust began in a dark but accessible place, in Hitler's mind, with the thought that the elimination of Jews would restore balance to the planet and allow Germans to win the resources they desperately needed. Such a worldview could be realized only if Germany destroyed other states, so Hitler's aim was a colonial war in Europe itself. In the zones of statelessness, almost all Jews died. A few people, the righteous few, aided them, without support from institutions. Much of the new research in this book is devoted to understanding these extraordinary individuals. The almost insurmountable difficulties they faced only confirm the dangers of state destruction and ecological panic. These men and women should be emulated, but in similar circumstances few of us would do so. By overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was -- and ourselves as we are. Black Earth reveals a Holocaust that is not only history but warning.

As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarianism here and abroad. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Now, in this tour de force of political philosophy, he helps us see exactly what we're fighting for.  Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means -- and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we're free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn't so much freedom from as freedom to -- the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible.  On Freedom takes us on a thrilling intellectual journey. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences coming of age in a time of American exceptionalism, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes -- the habits of mind -- that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions (championed by the right) but also the role of institutions (the purview of the left). Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C543361</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C543361</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Snyder, Timothy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/543361195</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217014286/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bloodlands]]></title><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C453432</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C453432</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Snyder, Timothy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/453432195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Europe Between Hitler and Stalin</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780465002399/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking the Twentieth Century]]></title><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C11650</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C11650</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Judt, Tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11650195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594203237/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking the Twentieth Century]]></title><description><![CDATA[An unprecedented and original history of intellectual life throughout the past century.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C20560</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C20560</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Judt, Tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/20560195</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781483067506/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
