Can We Be Great Again?

Reviews / Votes

'Enthralling' - Daily Mail 'This book is a reminder of the vast potential of the United Kingdom, and that we could have an extraordinary and successful future as well as a famous past. Jeremy Hunt points the way to how we British can recover our confidence - at a crucial time in world affairs when we are going to need it' - William Hague 'A fiercely intelligent and rich insider vision for Britain's unique role in our chaotic and increasingly fraught world' - Anthony Seldon 'This is a comprehensive book. There are chewy chapters on security, the magic of democracy, mass migration, climate change, the terms of global trade, pandemic prevention, human rights and artificial intelligence. It is full of good facts and I learn?ed a lot' - Philip Collins, Observer 'Jeremy Hunt is one of the most decent men I know. He is also highly intelligent and particularly perceptive. Engagingly self-critical this well-argued and very readable book convincingly explains what we've done wrong. More importantly it tells us what we must do to avoid making the same mistakes again' - David Richards 'This is an uplifting book, filled with valuable insights for tough times. For a political memoire it is refreshingly non-partisan, admitting mistakes and treating opponents generously. Its exceptional wisdom, pragmatism and modesty were forged through national crises during which desperate leaders, first Boris Johnson, then Liz Truss, chose him as the minister to salvage the situation. Hunt's title poses a crucial question. He answers it with a resounding 'yes', supported by an impressive command of detail which celebrates our abundance of innovators. Yet throughout, our triumphs are tempered by deep humanity to the marginalised' - Sir Paul Collier 'The message in this book is urgent and Jeremy delivers it with force and style: in politics and technology Britain has unique strengths at one of history's turning points' - Tony Blair 'A compelling book about what really happens in the labyrinth of politics when someone actually tries to make the world better, as Jeremy did - not least for people like me who were languishing in prison' - Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe 'Jeremy's book, soon to be followed by another, is a much-needed focus of hope for the country and a reminder that the path to better days is not as big an impossibility as so many seem to assume' - Jim O'Neill, Bloomberg Books of the Year Reviews for Zero
