Publisher's Summary

Instant New York Times Best Seller

From the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News and the New York Times best-selling author of Ship of Fools, a collection of nostalgic writings that underscore America’s long slide from innocence to orthodoxy.

Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact-checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today. In The Long Slide, Tucker delivers a few of his favorite pieces - annotated with new commentary and insight - to memorialize the tolerance and diversity of thought that the media used to celebrate instead of punish. In snapshots spanning the 1990s to today, he’ll take you on a visit to Africa with Al Sharpton and members of the Nation of Islam to stop the civil war in Liberia in 2003, inside the (not-so-) secret armies of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and on the campaign trail with Donald Trump in 2016. In case you missed it the first time around, you’ll also learn about the aesthetic merits of British colonialism, the second shift at a baked bean factory, the unexpected charm of James Carville, and the simple beauty of rural western Maine.

With his signature wit and 20/20 hindsight, Tucker investigates in this patriotic and memorable collection a question on all of our minds: Has America really changed that much in recent decades? The answer is, unequivocally, yes.

Surprisingly tender and charming

Unexpectedly intimate (and often hilarious) stories, woven within and reflecting upon Carlson’s selection of previously published works.

Amazing book. Really shows the downslide of Media.

Doesn't matter what side you are on we all can agree the MSM has changed and not for the better.
Recommend this book not just fir the articles but the stories behind them.

A glimpse into Tucker the person.

For me this story represented as much an inadvertant biographical depiction of Tucker Carlson as it was about any of the people in his articles. I really enjoyed how he prefaced each story by exploring the humanity (good and bad) of each of the individuals. It was through these excerpts and the stories that follow that Tucker ultimately reveals himself. He may in fact be the most interesting person of the bunch.

Want to be a journalist? This book is for you.

Enjoyed the stories. Not what I was expecting from Tucker. Heavy on the story and light on opinion other them reflections on the various political persons personalities. Thought he would be promoting the Conservative view point much more.
