Black Earth

The book emphasizes lessons from history that feel incredibly relevant now. I'm curious what inspired that focus and how he balances the historical facts with contemporary warnings.

Snyder's insights into how societies can be led astray are chilling. I wonder if this made others reflect on current political climates or historical parallels.

The variety of examples made the history feel more tangible, but I wonder how he chose which stories to highlight and what he hoped readers would take away from them.
