*WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION* 'A Great
American Novel in the guise of a Great Nonfiction Epic, The
Unwinding asks...do we truly like the world we have made for
ourselves?' The Times America is in crisis. 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. 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. 'Hums - with sorrow, with outrage
and with compassion... Close to a non-fiction masterpiece' The New
York Times
