After his groundbreaking books On Tyranny and The Road to Unfreedom, historian Timothy Snyder was asked: “What would a better America look like?” This new book, On Freedom, is his answer. In America and in much of the West, freedom is a much-vaunted ideal. But what is freedom?

On Freedom is a thrilling intellectual journey: a political philosophy of abundance, generosity and grace that has its roots in experience. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, from contemporary thinkers to poets, this is a bold narrative that enables us to imagine and design a government in which we and future generations can flourish.
