<p><b>*WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION*</b><br><br><b>'A Great American Novel in the guise of a Great Nonfiction Epic, <i>The Unwinding</i> asks...do we truly like the world we have made for ourselves?' <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>America is in crisis. </b><br><br>In the space of a generation the country has become divided between winners and losers, with its political system on the verge of breakdown and its people adrift amongst failing institutions.<br><br>In The Unwinding, George Packer tells the human story of America's vertiginous collapse. Dean Price is a sustainability evangelist in the rural South; Tammy Thomas, a factory worker trying to survive the collapse of the Rust Belt; Jeff Connaughton, a political careerist in Washington, and Peter Thiel, a controversial Silicon Valley billionaire. Journeying across three decades, Packer weaves the stories of these four Americans together to paint a rich, complex and compelling portrait of contemporary America as it stands at this, its most pivotal moment.<br><br><b>'Hums - with sorrow, with outrage and with compassion... Close to a non-fiction masterpiece' <i>The New York Times</i></b></p>
