2023réf. IYC133150London: Bantam Press 2023. 1st. h/b. Fine as new; signed to title. 8vo 230 x 150 / 9"" x 6"". A fascinating call to arms full of insight' Independent. After four decades broadcasting to the nation each night Jon Snow gives vent to his opinions on the state of our nation . . . the good news and the bad news. It is rare in history that so many nations in the developed world are in crisis at the same time. There has been a disintegration of trust in political leaders and in the media that holds them to account. For all the progress humankind has made for all the inventions and new technologies our society is being undermined by inequality. To fix it we must begin by seeking out the truth about our world. In The State of Us Jon Snow traces how the life of the nation has changed across his five-decade career from getting thrown out of university for protesting apartheid to interviewing every prime minister since Margaret Thatcher. In doing so he shows how the greatest problems at home and abroad so often come down to inequality and an unwillingness to confront it. But that is not our fate. Despite the challenges Snow has witnessed profound social progress. In this passionate rallying cry he argues that at its best journalism reflects not just who we are now but who we can be. We've had enough of division; the future is for us. Bantam Press unknown
