‘A masterly analysis of why Britain has much more global influence than it thinks’ Eric Schmidt, former CEO Google
Since the global financial crisis, Britain has been through a difficult period, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline. Jeremy Hunt was at the top of government as both Foreign Secretary and Chancellor. In Can We Be Great Again? he persuasively rebuts those who think Britain is no longer capable of shaping the world we live in.
With the election of President Trump, a world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. But when it comes to the big challenges facing the world – whether on European security, the future of democracy, migration, trade or climate - the UK remains one of the most influential countries. Hunt does not shy away from our weaknesses but argues that they should be considered in perspective and without underestimating our many strengths.
If we want a world that remains safe and free, now is the time for countries with influence to use it wisely.
‘A fiercely intelligent and rich insider vision for Britain’s unique role in our chaotic and increasingly fraught world’ - Anthony Seldon
'Jeremy Hunt is one of the most decent men I know. He is also highly intelligent and particularly perceptive. Engagingly self-critical this well-argued and very readable book convincingly explains what we’ve done wrong. More importantly it tells us what we must do to avoid making the same mistakes again' - David Richards
‘This is an uplifting book, filled with valuable insights for tough times. For a political memoire it is refreshingly non-partisan, admitting mistakes and treating opponents generously. Its exceptional wisdom, pragmatism and modesty were forged through national crises during which desperate leaders, first Boris Johnson, then Liz Truss, chose him as the minister to salvage the situation. Hunt’s title poses a crucial question. He answers it with a resounding ‘yes’, supported by an impressive command of detail which celebrates our abundance of innovators. Yet throughout, our triumphs are tempered by deep humanity to the marginalised' - Sir Paul Collier
'This book is a reminder of the vast potential of the United Kingdom, and that we could have an extraordinary and successful future as well as a famous past. Jeremy Hunt points the way to how we British can recover our confidence - at a crucial time in world affairs when we are going to need it' - William Hague
'A thoughtful, serious and well-written book that tackles an immensely important subject' - Rachel Clarke, Observer
‘As honest a political book as you're likely to read ... deeply heartening' - Express
‘A real understanding of the NHS’s many problems ... essential reading for everybody involved in health care' - Henry Marsh
'This powerful book is essential reading for everyone who cares about the future of the NHS - even (or especially) those who are sure they’ll disagree with its author' - Patricia Hewitt, former Labour Health Secretary
‘The message in this book is urgent and Jeremy delivers it with force and style: in politics and technology Britain has unique strengths at one of history’s turning points’ - Tony Blair
‘Jeremy Hunt points the way to how we British can recover our confidence - at a crucial time in world affairs when we are going to need it. It is a timely and positive reminder of our vast potential’ - William Hague
‘A fiercely intelligent and rich vision from someone who was “inside the room” about the unique role Britain can play in a chaotic world’ - Anthony Seldon, author of Truss at 10
‘Jeremy Hunt is one of the most decent men I know. In this engagingly self-critical and highly readable book he explains convincingly what has gone wrong and how to avoid making the same mistakes again’ - Lord Richards, former Chief of the Defence Staff
‘An uplifting and optimistic book filled with valuable insights, it admits mistakes and is generous to opponents as well as being filled with exceptional wisdom, pragmatism and humanity’ - Paul Collier, author of Left Behind and The Bottom Billion
‘A compelling book about what really happens in the labyrinth of politics when someone actually tries to make the world better, as Jeremy did – not least for people like me who were languishing in prison' - Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
