*WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION*
“A Great American Novel seen through the lens of a Great Non-Fiction Epic, The Unwinding asks… do we really like the world we have created?”
America is in crisis. Within a generation, the country has been divided between winners and losers, with its political system on the brink of collapse and its people finding their way amongst failed institutions.
In The Unwinding, George Packer tells the human story of America’s shaken decline. Dean Price is a sustainability evangelist in the southern countryside. Tammy Thomas, a factory worker trying to survive the collapse of the Rust Belt. Jeff Connaughton, a career politician in Washington, and Peter Thiel, a controversial Silicon Valley billionaire. Spanning three decades, Packer weaves the stories of these four Americans to paint a rich, complex, and captivating portrait of contemporary America in its most critical moment.
“It whistles – with sorrow, with anger, and with compassion… Near a masterpiece of non-fiction literature.”
