Synopsis

After the Cold War, many believed liberal democracy had won for good. This book argues that faith was misplaced, as authoritarianism returned to Russia and began to export its ideas. Historian Timothy Snyder connects Russian cyberwarfare and political strategy to the rise of populism and the weakening of institutions in Europe and the United States. He lays out the stark choices facing Western societies and exposes the true nature of the modern threat to democracy.
