Facing Tyranny premieres June 27 at 9pm.
I don't believe in “essential reading“ with a few exceptions. This is one. A short, but blistering impactful examination of our times with historical parallels to the current aspiring tyrant.

pickThe ebook edition I got was kind of garbled at times (weird typos), but I found this a surprisingly brisk read. Nice to finally place some of the quotations that go around in context.
Mostly just read it for this StoryGraph challenge, which echoes a Goodreads challenge: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/b39b226a-7d82-4267-a215-77dde52... But I appreciated it more than I'd expected.
If you are looking to buy our next read instead of borrowing it from the library… it is on sale today on both Kindle & Kobo

pickOona Hathaway is Professor of International Law and Political Science at Yale and Scott Shapiro is Professor of Law and Philosophy at Yale. This is a thorough and engaging look at the legal framework underpinning war as a means of dispute resolution and how the Grotius view of “might is right” was overturned with the 1928 Paris Peace Pact, which changed attitudes to the legitimacy of war and formed the basis of the modern international order.
“When my aunt had any little occasion to talk to him, to draw his attention perhaps to some mending of his linen or to warn him of a button hanging loose on his coat, he listened to her with an air of great attention and consequence, as though it were only with an extreme and desperate effort that he could force his way through any crack into our little peaceful world and be at home there if only for an hour.” (p20 and p22 on home)
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
