Selection of articles from 1992-3. Bizarrely found in a middle-of-nowhere antique store in rural Michigan. They had a few books at the back of the store and I wondered how this compendium of articles from The Guardian ended up there...
Reading in 2026 its like a bygone era where the concerns seem almost trifling compared to now (how will the Monarchy survive Charles and Diana's divorce, pfft try that for size Andrew Windsor) but also depressing familiar (for Gaza see Bosnia). The political landscape seems so less sensational and more intelligent (well at least most of the people are, compared to Boris/Liz Truss/etc etc) Anyway a valuable record of the times, with great journalists from the era of mass paper sales and healthy budgets for investigation and analysis.
