The Long Slide

Thirty Years in American Journalism

De: Tucker Carlson

Narrado por: Tucker Carlson

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News and the New York Times bestselling author of Ship of Fools, a collection of nostalgic writings that underscore America’s long slide from innocence to orthodoxy.

Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today. In The Long Slide, Tucker delivers a few of his favorite pieces—annotated with new commentary and insight—to memorialize the tolerance and diversity of thought that the media used to celebrate instead of punish. In snapshots spanning the 1990s to today, he’ll take you on a visit to Africa with Al Sharpton and members of the Nation of Islam to stop the civil war in Liberia in 2003, inside the (not-so-) secret armies of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and on the campaign trail with Donald Trump in 2016. In case you missed it the first time around, you’ll also learn about the aesthetic merits of British colonialism, the second shift at a baked bean factory, the unexpected charm of James Carville, and the simple beauty of rural western Maine.

With his signature wit and 20/20 hindsight, Tucker investigates in this patriotic and memorable collection a question on all of our minds: Has America really changed that much in recent decades? The answer is, unequivocally, yes.

Best Carlson book so far!

Really enjoyed listening to this book! this was a real look back and brought so many memories to mind. recommended

Insightful and entertaining all the way through

The name Tucker Carlson instantly invokes political commentary and a right leaning connotation. This book is anything but, an enjoyable read through time in the vehicle of past magazine articles written by Carlson I never would’ve read. The book flows amazingly well and breathes like fresh air when the perspective of change in America is introduced.

Great read and a good book.

Topical

Interesting insights into many personalities and situations of contemporary political life. Especially found Carville to be worthy of review never thought of him as a special person and my suspicions were affirmed opportunistic is apt

Holy shit tucker

what are we going to do? I'm profoundly disturbed by these tone deaf publishers and their total inability to see themselves on the wrong side of history

A bit Random

Tucker can get a point across better than anyone.

Tucker speaks well, he is easy to listen to, he is constructive and honest. love this book. Almost as much as "Ship if Fools".
