Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Everyone agrees that the US presidential race is too close to call - except PublicAffairs, the Boston publishing house that will shortly bring us former US Director of Counter-Terrorism Richard Clarke's report Defeating the Jihadists.
Everyone agrees that the US presidential race is too close to call - except PublicAffairs, the Boston publishing house that will shortly bring us former US Director of Counter-Terrorism Richard Clarke's report Defeating the Jihadists. Last week it announced a January title, Election 2004. A bet-hedging subtitle runs "How Bush/Kerry won". But the blurb below, repeated by Amazon and BN.com, is much less cautious. It calls the book "an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the 2004 Kerry presidential victory". Let's pray that the copywriters really know something we don't.
* Clare Morrall, the Birmingham piano teacher catapulted to fame in 2003 when Astonishing Splashes of Colour made the Man Booker shortlist, has decided on a home for her next novel. Happily, Tindal Street Press, the tiny Arts Council-supported house, is not left in the cold. It will be associate publisher, with Sceptre, of Natural Flights of the Human Mind. Laura Longriff of MBA and Sceptre's Carole Welch acknowledge the debt Morrall owes to TSP, praised by the writer as "far-sighted and innovative". Welch describes the new novel, due in 2006, as "a captivating, complex and unusual love story".
