在以往的著作中，大屠杀历史学家 Timothy Snyder 剖析了促成希特勒和斯大林崛起并执行其灾难性政策的种种事件与价值观念。在《Twenty Lessons》中，Snyder 从二十世纪最黑暗的时刻汲取教训，为二十一世纪带来希望。正如他所写的那样：“相比亲眼目睹民主沦陷于法西斯主义、纳粹主义和共产主义的欧洲人，美国人并不更聪明。我们唯一的优势，在于我们或许能从他们的经历中吸取教训。”

……经典之作。为了读书会我又重读了一遍。有点深奥晦涩，但我把它和温伯格的《系统化思维导论》（General Systems Thinking）结合着读，提炼出了一些虽有点模糊但很有意思的见解。--- 作者：Timothy Snyder 书名：《论暴政》（On Tyranny） 这是一本短小精悍且引人入胜的书。我在阵亡将士纪念日（Remembrance Day）花了一个半小时左右就读完了。
…classic. I reread this for a bookclub. It's a bit esoteric, but I coupled it with Weinbergs General Systems Thinking and extracted some vague but interesting insights. --- Author: Timmothy Snyder Book: On Tyranny This is a short and captivating book. I read it in about an hour and a half on Remembrance Day.

……但他绝对是建国先父理想在现代的化身。他开出的药方是向我们的体制投资，以此作为对抗我们衰落的潜在 back-pressure（这是我用的词，不是他说的）。《论暴政》（On Tyranny）是一本极棒的极简短书，他也把它放到了 YouTube 上。非常值得一读/一看。我觉得你也会喜欢 Snyder 关于“必然性政治”（politics of inevitability）的演讲（在 YouTube 上），以及民主这一……
…but he is definitely the modern embodiment of the ideals of our founding fathers. He prescribes investing in our institutions as the potential back-pressure on our decay (my choice of word, not his). "On Tyranny" is a great very short book and he also put it on youtube. Very much worth a read/watch. I think you would enjoy Snyder's talks on the "politics of inevitability" (on youtube) and the idea that democracy…
一本非技术类书，Timothy Snyder 的《论暴政》（On Tyranny）。书中指出，如果不去捍卫民主，它是很容易失去的。https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33917107-on-tyranny

……不应该觉得“钟摆总会荡回另一边”；有时候确实会，但如果不荡回去，那你想重来可就太迟了。我对这方面的看法很大程度上受到了 Timothy Snyder 最近一本书的影响，叫《论暴政：二十世纪的二十个教训》（On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century）。
…shouldn't think that "the pendulum will swing the other way"; sometimes it does, but if it doesn't then it's to late for a do-over. My thoughts on this are greatly influenced by a recent book called "On Tyranny; Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century" by Timothy Snyder.
