Surviving Autocracy

 

Surviving Autocracy / Masha Gessen, 295 pgs.

I wish I hadn't felt compelled to read this but given the precarious state of democracy, it is a good book to study.  Gessen was early to sound the warning of the significance of the 2016 election and the road ahead.  Here is 22 solid chapters full of examples of why we need to worry and the march up to each hill that we went over without stopping to see the obvious.  It is not uplifting, but it does show that we can't be too careful when we start looking at actually SEEING what is going on right in front of us.
