New Releases by Peter Jenkins

Peter Jenkins, who died in 1992, was widely regarded as the finest political journalist of his generation. His regular columns in The Guardian, the Sunday Times and The Independent, as well as his essay-length contributions to a wide variety of journals and magazines, set the standard for commentating on current affairs. This extensive selection of his journalism encompasses British, European and American politics since the late 1960s, and covers, in addition to the cut and thrust of domestic politics, the high drama of general elections, the condition of British Rail catering, and many of the turbulent events and issues of the period.

It is the story of an astonishing voyage that opened his eyes to new worlds and his heart to new friends, a voyage that strengthened his pride in America.

A decade ago, Peter and Barbara Jenkins set out on the back roads in search of the American dream. Here is the culmination of that quest -- a heartwarming adventure of inspiration and hope, an exhausting test that pushed them to the edge of their physical and spiritual endurance, and became the crucible of a powerful faith in God.
