The Road to Unfreedom
Russia, Europe, America
(Author) Timothy SnyderLa 4e de couverture indique : "The past is another country, the old saying goes. The same might be said of the future. But which country ? For Europeans and Americans today, the answer is Russia. In this visionary work of contemporary history, Timothy Snyder shows how Russia works within the West to destroy the West ; by supporting the far right in Europe, invading Ukraine in 2014, and waging a cyberwar during the 2016 presidential campaign and the EU referendum. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the creation of Donald Trump, an American failure deployed as a Russian weapon. But this threat presents an opportunity to better understand the pillars of our freedoms and face the choices that will determine the future : equality or oligarchy, individualism or totalitarianism, truth or lies."
