Reviews Ĭarlos Lozada of The Washington Post describes the book as 'clarifying and unnerving', 'a memorable work that is grounded in history yet imbued with the fierce urgency of what now.' Daniel W. The short (126 pages) book is presented as a series of twenty instructions on how to combat the rise of tyranny, such as 'Defend institutions', 'Remember professional ethics', and 'Believe in truth'.
