'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 The past is another country, the old saying goes.

"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." -- Tim Adams * Observer *
"Snyder’s central thesis is a strong one… Vividly and insightfully told." -- Edward Lucas * 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." -- Oliver Bullough * Prospect *
