"A brilliant and disturbing analysis, which should be read by
anyone wishing to understand the political crisis currently
engulfing the world"
*YUVAL NOAH HARARI, author of SAPIENS and HOMO DEUS*
"This story of how Russia dismantled democracy, and the man who set
its template for fake news, is chilling and persuasive ...
unignorable... a disturbing and persuasive insight... Snyder's
forensic examination of, for example the news cycle that followed
the shooting down of flight MH17 makes essential reading ...
Meticulously researched and footnoted."
*Observer*
"Snyder’s central thesis is a strong one… Vividly and insightfully
told."
*The Times*
"A rollercoaster world calls for a news editor’s skills in
processing facts and a philosopher’s ability to dissect ideologies.
He has both."
*The Economist*
"The Road to Unfreedom is a sprawling epic that veers from Dark
Ages Kiev to modern day Washington and back again."
*Prospect*
