Summary:
"The Founding Fathers tried to prtotect us from the threat they knew -- the
tyranny
that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the
twentieth
century
. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. 'On
Tyranny
' is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come". --Back cover.
