Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life by Nicholas D. Kristof

Product Details

About the Book

Chasing Hope offers an intimate, deeply candid look inside the extraordinary career of Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times columnist, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and one of the foremost reporters of his generation. Since 1984, Kristof has worked almost continuously for The New York Times as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and now columnist, and in this memoir he recounts his event-filled path from a small-town farm in Oregon to nearly every corner of the world.

Reporting from Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo, and traveling far afield to India, Africa, and Europe, Kristof witnessed and wrote about some of the most consequential events of the past half-century, including communist Poland's 1981 crackdown on the Solidarity movement, the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre (which earned him and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, a Pulitzer Prize), the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, the plight of child sex slaves in Cambodia, the Yemeni civil war, and the Darfur genocide in Sudan, for which he won a second Pulitzer. Kristof also turns his reporter's eye toward home, chronicling the wave of addiction and despair that swept through his own hometown and much of working-class America. Blending vulnerability and courage, humility and hard-won purpose, and unflinching honesty about his own mistakes and growth along the way, Chasing Hope offers both a singular chronicle of a life dedicated to pursuing the truth and a genuinely hopeful, humane testament to why journalism still matters.
