Hope Dies Last: Making a Difference in an Indifferent World
Hope Dies Last: Making a Difference in an Indifferent World

Activism fuels hope against world's indifference.

If you're feeling disillusioned by today's headlines and hungry for authentic stories of courage and conviction, "Hope Dies Last" could be a timely read. Terkel masterfully weaves together diverse voices, from celebrities to the unsung heroes of activism, each sharing their unique perspective on hope. Their tales resonate with a shared stubbornness to enact change that might just reignite your own belief in the power of persistence.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For Terkel, hope is born of activism, engagement, and a stubborn determination to improve the world. In Hope Dies Last, he interviews a wide range of politically engaged Americans, musing on where hope springs from, how it sustains us, and how to instil it in others. Along with well-known figures—including Paul Tibbets (pilot of the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima), Sixties activist Tom Hayden, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith—Terkel speaks with ordinary citizens, such as a death-row inmate pardoned after nearly twenty years for a crime he did not commit, and a schoolteacher in a tough inner-city high school. Throughout, he invites these fascinating people to speak passionately about their life's work. Hope Dies Last is a celebration of hope in troubled times, an inspiring book about political engagement in the face of indifference.
