《論暴政》的作者 帶來了一部關於威權主義從俄羅斯到歐洲和美國崛起的驚人新編年史。
隨著冷戰的結束，自由民主的勝利似乎是最終的。觀察家們宣布歷史的終結，對和平、全球化的未來充滿信心。這種信念是錯誤的。威權主義回到俄羅斯，因為普京發現了可以用來證明富人統治的法西斯思想。在 2010 年代，它在俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭和歐洲和美國的網絡戰的幫助下，從東向西蔓延。
俄羅斯在各地的民族主義者、寡頭和激進分子中找到了盟友，它解散西方機構、國家和價值觀的動力在西方內部引起了共鳴。民粹主義的興起、英國對歐盟的投票以及唐納德特朗普的當選都是俄羅斯的目標，但它們的成就揭示了西方社會的脆弱性。
在這部強有力且毫不留情的當代歷史著作中，基於大量研究和個人報導，斯奈德超越了頭條新聞，揭露了民主和法律威脅的真實性質。理解挑戰就是要看到，也許是更新傳統所提供的和未來所要求的基本政治美德。通過揭示擺在我們面前的嚴峻選擇——平等或寡頭政治、個體或整體、真理與虛假——斯奈德恢復了我們對生活方式基礎的理解，在一個充滿不確定性的時代提供了一條前進的道路。
The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

From the author of On Tyranny comes a stunning new chronicle of the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America.
With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy seemed final. Observers declared the end of history, 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 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.
In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, based on vast research as well as personal reporting, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. To understand the challenge is to see, and perhaps renew, the fundamental political virtues offered by tradition and demanded by the future. 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.
