Penned by Timothy Snyder, author of the international bestseller _On Tyranny_, this remarkably foresighted study of Russia’s continuing campaign against the West feels more urgent today than ever. Through this bold work of present-day history, Snyder reveals the ways in which Russia operates from inside the West to dismantle it: bolstering far-right movements across Europe, launching the 2014 invasion of Ukraine, and conducting cyberwarfare throughout both the 2016 U.S. presidential race and the EU referendum. He argues that nothing illustrates this strategy more starkly than the rise of Donald Trump—described here as an American breakdown turned into a Russian instrument. Yet Snyder suggests this danger also opens a chance to recognize the foundations of our liberties and to confront the choices that will shape what comes next: equality versus oligarchy, individualism versus totalitarianism, truth versus deception.
