Stephen Sackur is one of the most respected news journalists in the country. For nearly 20 years, as the lead presenter of the BBC’s HARDtalk, he deployed a fearless, forensic style of questioning as the programme’s inquisitor-in-chief. In ‘Hard Truth’, he issues a rallying cry for the vital and continuing role of investigative journalism in holding the powerful to account. From Daniel Ellsberg’s exposé of the Pentagon papers to Alexei Navalny’s anti-corruption fight in Russia – via the shocking murder of Daphne Caruana who took on systemic corruption in Malta – ‘Hard Truth’ highlights ten dramatic cases when brave journalists told truth to power, sometimes paying the ultimate price. In a world turned toxic by disinformation, where lies are weaponised and the truth is targeted, independent journalists are increasingly on the frontline of the fight to save democracy. This book demonstrates that it is a fight that can still be won.

For years now, people around the world have watched Donald Trump push the boundaries of presidential power and asked the same question: how has he been allowed to get away with it? In ‘Profiles in Cowardice’, Jacob Weisberg argues that the answer lies not only with Trump himself, but with the politicians, billionaires, executives and institutions that repeatedly chose accommodation over resistance. From Wall Street and Silicon Valley to the Senate and the legal establishment, Weisberg examines eight influential figures who privately understood the risks Trump posed yet publicly enabled his rise. Their stories reveal how authoritarianism takes hold not by tearing institutions down, but by gradually bullying them into submission.

Born in working-class Liverpool in 1952 to devoted members of the British Communist Party, Alexei Sayle has spent a lifetime walking down the middle of the street shouting. ‘How I’ve Tried to Change the World’ is a memoir of his life on the Left, covering seven decades of social history told through key marches and rallies. From the demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1969 and the first Miners’ strike in 1974, to the demonstration against the 2003 Iraq invasion and the recent marches in support of Gaza, Sayle traces the enduring struggle for a better, fairer world. He explores Left ideas, why they matter and why it’s still worth taking them seriously. Along the way, we encounter The Other Alexei (a bitter, retired media studies lecturer from Clitheroe Polytechnic), his imaginary daughter Tanita, and learn how a Samurai philosophy called Bushido can teach us how to behave at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Now more than ever, might is right – or so today’s strongman leaders would have us believe. In this era of conflict and souring historical alliances, how will the world’s nations co-exist and survive? ‘The World in Turmoil’ untangles the complex threads of geopolitics that both bind us and threaten to tear us apart. From military might to soft power and from empires to rogue states, John Andrews takes the long view of the factors that influence relations between countries, complete with a jargon-busting A-Z of key terms and concepts to help us navigate the changing landscape. He offers a clear-sighted analysis of the themes and trends governing global politics – and why we ignore them at our peril.

A respected historian of the British Empire closes the chasm between how the British see themselves and how they are actually seen abroad. The United Kingdom is a country that evokes strong opinions but frequently escapes rigorous definition. Seen from the outside, it is a wildly contradictory place. One of the world’s strongest economies, where inequality is rampant. Famous for its pageantry and traditions, but selective about remembering its imperial past. By diving into its many paradoxes, Helene von Bismarck reveals why the political debate in – and, internationally, about – the United Kingdom has for years been driven by people who talk past, rather than with, each other. This title explores and challenges the way the British see themselves, their political and constitutional system and their role in the world – encouraging readers to leave our echo chambers and look through new eyes at this complex and sometimes bewildering countr

Video games are the world’s largest entertainment medium: they are played by billions of people, across all age demographics, and they generate hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue every year. But video games are more than an entertainment product – they are an ecosystem that connects billions of people across the globe. Video games create spaces where people talk, share ideas and build identities that bleed into our reality. And whilst democracies have underestimated the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity. Supported by the insights of dozens of politicians, academics and industry experts, it’s the vital guide to understanding this new frontier for political influence, and what democracies must do to protect play and harness its immense power before this essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.
