Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A "visionary" (The Guardian) exploration of freedomwhat it is, how it's been misunderstood, and why it's our only chance for survivalby the acclaimed Yale historian and author of On Tyranny"[Snyder's] deep political and philosophical examination of how to . . . create and sustain freedom provides a hopeful view for the future."Los Angeles TimesTimothy Snyder has been called "the leading interpreter of our dark times."
