We Americans love to talk about our freedom and how that sets us apart
from so many people who don't live here. But what is freedom? And what
sort of freedom do we really have? These are deep questions about
something that is so essential. In his latest book the historian Timothy
Snyder takes his readers inside this topic.

I rarely state a book is a must read. Well, this one surely is.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
