With the Falling of the Dusk
by
Grant is a Wiradjuri man who, as a boy, was a demon reader and who, against all the odds that were facing a young man of his background and time, became an outstanding journalist. I bought this book because I'm trying to educate myself about China and he was a frontline reporter for CNN in China and other parts of Asia - I was more than informed, I was fascinated. In the case of his reports from Afghanistan and Pakistan I was horrified.
Grant examines his experiences in the context of history and through the lens of the political philosophy of which he is an obsessive student. (Actually, I don't mind if he never mentions Hegel again). His predictions of the future for liberal democracy and the post WWII peace are ....sobering. I don't entirely share his pessimism and, if I've understood him correctly, I'm more enthusiastic about liberal democracy.
