Hard Truth
'A brave journalist on brave journalism'Jonathan Freedland, author of The Traitor's Circle'From HARDtalk to hard truths, Stephen Sackur provides a vital book on the importance of journalism and the insidious threats to it'Jon Sopel, co-host of The News Agents'Stephen Sackur is a journalist of rare courage and toughness who is deservedly respected across the world for his uncompromising and brilliant interviews'Rory Stewart, co-host of The Rest is PoliticsFrom Woodward and Bernstein's famous expose´ of a crooked American president to the shocking murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia who confronted deep-rooted corruption in Malta, Hard Truth explores ten dramatic cases where journalists showed astonishing bravery in uncovering the truth, sometimes paying the ultimate price.Stephen Sackur spent many years holding political leaders to account as the presenter of BBC HARDtalk. In Hard Truth he takes us inside in a series of global investigations, highlighting the work of extraordinarily courageous journalists in a journey that leads him from Washington to the West Bank, Moscow to Manila.Hard Truth is also the story of Sackur re-examining the assumptions underpinning the journalism he grew up with. Is it enough to bear witness and move on? What does impartiality mean when the truth itself is drowning in a sea of distraction, distortion and disinformation? Do we need journalists who see themselves as 'activists for truth'?In a media landscape dominated by a handful of tech oligarchs, in which lies are weaponised and reality is warped by algorithms, independent journalists are increasingly on the front line of the fight to save democracy itself. Hard Truth shows us that there is hope. It is a fight that can still be won.

No Way to Run a Country
'Remarkable. Deeply personal, moving and funny. Johnny is not your typical person or politician' - Alastair Campbell'An extraordinary book by an extraordinary person' - Rory Stewart, author of Politics on the Edge and co-host of The Rest Is PoliticsBrutally honest, insightful and darkly funny, No Way to Run a Country is former Cabinet minister Johnny Mercer's account of a tumultuous nine years in Parliament, under five prime ministers including Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.In this deeply personal memoir, he reveals what Westminster and government is really like and neatly skewers its many absurdities.Johnny, who fought in Afghanistan in 29 Commando Regiment, was fired up with anger at the poor treatment of veterans by successive governments. Determined to do something about it, in 2015 he stood for election in his beloved city of Plymouth. This political outsider was on a mission to change the country.Johnny's experiences in Westminster veer from hilarious to infuriating as he refuses to accept the gap between what governments say and what they do. As a result he is threatened, briefed against and sacked as a minister - twice! Politics is a blood sport, whatever your party.He sees a system riven with infighting, incompetence and inertia, struggling through Brexit, the fall of Afghanistan and numerous self-inflicted crises. There are many good MPs who deserve better. The public certainly does.As the outsider becomes the insider, he succeeds in creating the UK's first Office of Veterans' Affairs and introduces legislation to protect their rights and service. But for Johnny, who has his own daily battle with crippling OCD, the long fight comes at a cost.Perfect for readers of Politics on the Edge and Ungovernable.

Sunak at 10
'The leading authority on our contemporary prime ministers' Dominic Grieve, Guardian The 2024 General Election was the Conservatives' worst ever defeat: their lowest vote share in modern history and smallest parliamentary contingent since 1832. As Boris Johnson's crumbling majority turned to rubble and Nigel Farage's Reform marched into the vacuum, a question hung over British politics that would once have seemed absurd: is this the end of the Tories as an independent force? From inheriting Liz Truss's collapsed premiership - the pound in freefall, the bond markets and Conservative Party in revolt - through the domestic battles over the Rwanda Asylum Plan and the agenda-dominating wars in Ukraine and Gaza, to the crushing 2023 local elections, Sunak's time in Downing Street was one of unrelenting turbulence and hard choices. Could a more naturally political or commanding leader have steadied the ship? Was Sunak ultimately sunk by the chaos he inherited, or by his own ill-fated indecision? And as Kemi Badenoch attempts to rebuild and Keir Starmer is already out the door, does any path back to power remain? Drawing on unparalleled access to Sunak's inner circle, and exclusive interviews with Cabinet ministers and senior officials, Anthony Seldon and Tom Egerton offer the definitive account of a premiership that began in crisis, and was never able to fully escape it.

Was completely fucked. All good now.When Jon Ronson received a series of disquieting texts from his son Joel who'd been lured to a mysterious castle in the forests of New England late one night, it sets Ronson Sr. off on an adventure into an underworld of unmoored and disaffected men.As Jon deepens his investigation into the castle and the wider 'man crisis' - where some are feeling tossed around in a sea of conflicting ideologies of what it means to be a man - urgent questions come to light. What exactly is 'Princessing'? Why did a lawn care influencer dress as a baby in front of billions of online viewers, with catastrophic results? And more pressingly, why are two recently released murderers on their way to pay Jon a visit?From the death of utopian factory towns to the false promise of YouTube influencer culture, Jon shows us our rapidly changing world like never before, and the men caught in the middle. A world drained of purpose, of collapsing institutions, where a new era of disinhibited behaviour has taken hold of our online and real-world selves. And as the castle mystery twists and turns into a cat-and-mouse story, will Jon be able to discover its terrifying secret hidden from the world?THE CASTLE marks Jon Ronson's triumphant return to the written page. Utterly hilarious and criminally entertaining, this is one of our greatest non-fiction writers at the top of his game: diagnosing our societal frailties in a narrative of blistering pace, insight and intensity.

Frankly
The instant Sunday Times bestseller, now updated for paperbackA Book of the Year in the Times, Guardian and Sunday Times'A triumph. Frankly is the most insightful and stylishly open memoir by a politician since Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father' - Andrew O'Hagan'Nicola Sturgeon tells her remarkable story with great skill and unflinching honesty' - Alan JohnsonThe enduring popularity of Nicola Sturgeon, the first female and longest-serving First Minister of Scotland, was a rare constant in an era marked by Brexit, Covid and five different UK prime ministers. Previously, as 'Yes Minister' and Deputy Leader of the SNP, she helped to bring Scotland to the brink of independence, overseeing the Yes campaign in the independence referendum of 2014.In this deeply personal memoir, Sturgeon recounts her journey from working-class Ayrshire to the steps of Bute House. Revealing the person behind the politician, she explores the schism between her private and public personas: one painfully shy and self-critical, the other a consummate public performer. And yet, she pulls no punches, candidly recounting her interactions with figures including Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Alex Salmond - her mentor and, ultimately, her staunch adversary.Full of the verve and wit that made Sturgeon one of the most high-profile politicians in the UK, this is a unique blend of personal insight and captivating vignettes. Infused throughout with a love of Scotland and its people, it discusses Sturgeon's mistakes, her battles, and her triumphs with candid honesty. Frankly is the compelling story of no ordinary politician.'Candid . . . fascinating' - The Times'Lively . . . often moving' - Financial Times'She is an entertaining storyteller, with a good eye for detail' - The GuardianFrankly was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 24.08.2025.

Regime Change
Few expected Donald Trump to return to the White House stronger than before. The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him.Regime Change is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trump's second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration's most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump's second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him 'no' are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles.Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President's enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.Regime Change shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.

This Is Fascism
A #1 bestseller in the Netherlands, this urgent book explains why fascism has returned to Europe in the 21st century - and how we can stop it. 'Excellent' Timothy Snyder 'Definitive' Jason Stanley 'Chilling' Paul Mason 'Read this book' Rutger Bregman Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats. Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?

Woke Is Dead
Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense worldThey claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense.For a decade, 'woke' infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot.But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up.In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history.

He pulls no punches as he tackles: Hollywood hypocrisy - when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performance Environ-mentalists - how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic straws Go Woke, Go Broke - from brand deals to the price of moral posturing Word Police - the battle over language and what you can and can't say And much more But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society.Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.

If We Tolerate This
The language of the far right is now in the mouths of our mainstream political leaders, from Labour to the Conservatives.In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right march in Britain's history, after a summer of flag-waving protest.

Read this, as each one opens a hidden window on the way we live now' - Polly ToynbeeFor the best part of two years Charlie Colenutt travelled the country to talk to a hundred strangers, from all walks of life, about their jobs: What did they do for a living? Why did they do it? Did they like it?They met in coffee shops, chain pubs or front rooms. Through hearing people tell their stories, he found out the number of birds killed per day in a poultry factory, the order in which patients are woken up in care homes, and the reasons why you shouldn't smile when you are shown your bonus in an investment bank.He spoke with the church minister who, maddened by his email inbox, has come to feel more like an administrator than a spiritual leader; the cleaner that became so frustrated by the lack of change in her local area that she ran to be a councillor and won; the baker who used to hate touching flour; and the trade union organizer, not pressured by hours or targets, but by the cause.Together, the voices in Is This Working? tell a story about the one thing that most British adults have in common - work.

Deterring Armageddon
'EXCELLENT' - THE TLS'HUGELY IMPRESSIVE' - THE INDEPENDENT'AN ASTONISHINGLY FINE HISTORY' - COUNTRY LIFE'FASCINATING' - DAILY MAILThe history of the world's most successful military alliance, from the wrecked Europe of 1945 to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.As they signed NATO into being after World War II, its founders fervently believed that only if the West's democracies banded permanently together could they avoid a catastrophic global atomic conflict. Over the 75 years since, the alliance has indeed avoided war with Russia, also becoming a major political, strategic and diplomatic player well beyond its borders. It has survived disagreements between leaders from Eisenhower, Churchill and de Gaulle to Trump, Stoltenberg and Merkel, faced down Kremlin foes from Stalin to Putin and endured unending questions and debate over what new nations might be allowed to join.Deterring Armageddon takes the reader from backroom deals that led to NATO's creation, through the Cold War, the Balkans and Afghanistan to the current confrontation with the Kremlin following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines the tightrope walked by alliance leaders between a powerful United States sometimes flirting with isolationism and European nations with their ever-evolving wishes for autonomy and influence. Having spent much of its life preparing for conflicts that might never come, NATO has sometimes found itself in wars that few had predicted - and with its members now again planning for a potential major European conflict.It is a tale of tension, danger, rivalry, conflict, big personalities and high-stakes military and diplomatic posturing - as well as espionage, politics and protest. From the Korean War to the pandemic, the Berlin and Cuba crises to the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, Deterring Armageddon tells how the alliance has shaped and been shaped by history - and looks ahead to what might be the most dangerous era it has ever faced.'Utterly eye-opening - compelling, haunting and continually illuminating. As Peter Apps so brilliantly demonstrates in this gripping book, the story of the NATO alliance is in many ways a parallel global history of the last 75 years. As well as all the outbreaks of seething tension between the US and its European allies - and the counter-moves of rival powers - this is also an account of just how often in those postwar years that we all stood on the edge of the most terrible abyss. With mesmerising fluency, and dazzling research, Apps follows the criss-crossing threads of the Cold War and beyond. Those threads converge in our shadowed present, and the conflict in Ukraine. In order to fathom today's dark world, Apps has explored a labyrinth of once-classified history, and he brings dazzling clarity.' - Sinclair McKay

The New Age of Sexism
'Laura Bates explains how they built the future - and forgot to put women in it' CAITLIN MORAN 'Fascinating and essential... I urge you to read every syllable' JO BRAND 'All men must read this book if they have any interest in a truly just, fair and equal society' ROBIN INCEAI is here, bringing a seismic shift in the way our society operates. Might this mean a future reimagined on equitable terms for women and marginalised groups everywhere?Not unless we fight for it. At present, power remains largely in the hands of a few rich, white men. New AI-driven technologies, with misogyny baked into their design, are putting women in danger, their rights and safety sacrificed at the altar of profitability and reckless speed. In The New Age of Sexism, Sunday Times bestselling author and campaigner Laura Bates takes us deep into the heart of this rapidly evolving world. She explores the metaverse, confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives - from education to work, sex to entertainment - are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the way we live and love. What she finds is a wild west where existing forms of discrimination, inequality and harassment are being coded into the future we will all have little choice about living in - unless we seize this moment to demand change. Gripping, courageous and eye-opening, The New Age of Sexism exposes a phenomenon we can't afford to ignore any longer. Our future is on the line. We need to act now, before it is too late. 'Urgent reading for anyone who is interested in the intersection of tech and gender equality, and indeed anyone who wants to be a part of building a better future, free from misogyny' EMMA-LOUISE BOYNTON 'A brilliantly researched, incredibly illuminating and frequently chilling account of the next chapter in tech's ongoing assault on our core values.

Chain of Ideas
From France to Brazil, Hungary to India, the Netherlands to the United States, the rise of authoritarian movements has reshaped global politics. At their heart lies the myth of the so-called 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In 'Chain of Ideas', Ibram X. Kendi traces how this conspiracy theory, once the preserve of the right-wing fringe, has mutated into a global ideology embraced by leaders such as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. From Anders Breivik's massacre in Oslo to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and re-shaped parties of government.

Baltic
The Baltic's time has come. It is not only critical to Europe's security and increasingly a centre of political and military power in its own right; it is a reservoir of ideas and experiences that could shape the continent's future. The Baltic offers by far the most successful examples of the reintegration of Europe's old capitalist and communist blocs. It abounds in pioneering environmental initiatives, ranging from the world's first geological 'forever' storage facility for nuclear waste in Finland to its first 'zero waste' community, on the Danish island of Bornholm. Brutalised by the twentieth century, the rebounding economies of Poland, Finland and Estonia are case studies in the mobilisation of social resources and the transformative power of technology. This book explores the history, their culture, their peculiarities and national dilemmas of all nine Baltic countries.
