Reviews

Vastly important, deeply affecting, powerful, magnificent
*Philippe Sands, author of East West Street and The Ratline*

A more concise, profound, or essential book on the subject does not exist
*J.J. Abrams, filmmaker, Star Trek and Star Wars: The Force Awakens*

On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook... a manual for how to protect and preserve Democracy
*Ken Burns, filmmaker*

Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the 20th century
*Shepard Fairey, artist and activist*

Her colorful images here - some drawn and some collaged, including many historical photos and artifacts - add a new layer of complexity, and make the search for understanding in images of the past part of the story
*New York Times*

One of the most important books of our time... This book should be read and experienced by everyone, its lessons carved into our hearts
*Nate Powell, graphic novelist, March and Save It for Later*

Krug's illustrated edition of On Tyranny is more than an instant classic. It is an act of resistance - and a gift of love
*Joshua Oppenheimer, filmmaker, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence*

A chilling description of how authoritarian mindsets work
*Hillary Clinton*
