![]() ![]() ![]() How, why, and with what consequences is the theme of Snyder’s newest book, The Road to Unfreedom. This revolution, Snyder argues, is what Russia has imposed upon the United States and the European Union. But suppose new technology enabled a state to “engage the enemy’s will directly, without the medium of violence,” Snyder writes-this would be a revolution in the history of conflict. Increasingly, he sees his concerns fusing into one great narrative, as methods of manipulation and deception pioneered inside Russia are deployed against Russia’s chosen targets.Ĭlausewitz defined war as the use of violence by one state to impose its will upon another. Snyder is an unusual historian-activist, both a great scholar of the terrible cost of 20th-century totalitarianism and also a passionate champion of endangered democracy in Ukraine and Eastern Europe-and now, the United States. ![]()
