2.5/5. This is a very short book about “Twenty Lessosn from the Twentieth Century On Tyranny.” Because each lesson is so short, there's little room for meaningful, in-depth discussion or for exploring possible counterarguments.
I also found the title somewhat misleading. I expected to learn more about different types of tyranny or authoritarian regimes, but only a few notable examples are briefly mentioned, often with the assumption that readers are already well informed about the historical context.
Overall, I didn't feel that I learned as much as I had hoped.
