At one point it was a number one bestseller in the Washington Post listings, and is currently at number three in the latest New York Times paperback non-fiction category. The other unexpected thing about this book is that it is currently selling like crazy. Instead, what I received was a “pocket book” sized paperback with twenty pithy lessons on tyranny summarized in titles of six words or less, with a short paragraph summary at the beginning of lessons, the longest of which was nine pages. I selected it in one of the review programs I am a part of expecting to receive a standard size book that was a treatise on tyranny, particularly given the academic background of its author, a Yale historian. This has been an unexpected book for me in several ways. Summary: A Yale historian d raws twenty lessons from fascist and communist movements of the twentieth century and applies them to the American context.
