America: The Farewell Tour

America: The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges is a searing and urgent examination of a nation in decline. Drawing on his experiences as a journalist and war correspondent, Hedges travels across the United States to document the deepening crises—economic despair, political corruption, addiction, and cultural decay—that signal the unraveling of American democracy. Through interviews and on-the-ground reporting from deindustrialized towns, prisons, and dying communities, he portrays the human cost of unfettered capitalism and systemic inequality. Unflinching and provocative, America: The Farewell Tour is both a lament for what has been lost and a fierce call to confront the forces driving the country toward collapse.
