'Bernie Sanders has changed US politics forever' Owen Jones
The Sunday Times bestseller
Bernie Sanders is one of the most influential voices in a global movement fighting injustice. He has dominated two Democratic primary races, and changed the political conversation around the world. But he began as an unknown underdog. So how did he get here?
In this remarkable memoir, Sanders shows how a young man from Brooklyn, via Civil Rights demonstrations and a lifetime of independent politics, became one of the most radical voices in America. He provides a unique insight into the campaign that galvanized a movement, and shares experiences from the campaign trail as well as the ideas and strategies that shaped it. And, drawing on decades of experience as an activist and public servant, he outlines his vision for continuing this revolution.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Senator Sanders's gravelly voice and dramatic presentation are surely familiar to listeners. He reads with the same sincerity and earnestness he brought to audiences throughout his extraordinary primary campaign for president of the United States. A seasoned orator, he's particularly good at changing speed and intonation to emphasize the points he wants you to understand and absorb. Actor Ruffalo sounds subdued by comparison; though he is an ardent fan of Sanders, he doesn't muster the energy, urgency and hopefulness that Sanders does. Though the text touches on many points from his recent campaign, it adds much personal and political history and detailed plans on every issue. The recording was made prior to the 2016 election, and Sanders's optimistic tone reflects his high hopes that in the coming administration his "future to believe in" might begin to be realized. A Thomas Dunne hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Inspiring!
A fascinating, comprehensive and inspiring look at the campaign experiences and political ideology of Bernie Sanders, from the perspective of the man himself. In an election where media seemed to focus on style over substance, it is refreshing to be able to reflect on the actual issues of the campaign.
