Books by Nicholas Kristof
“Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life” (2024)
Since 1984, Nicholas Kristof has worked almost continuously for The New York Times as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and now columnist, becoming one of the foremost reporters of his generation. Here, he recounts his event-filled path from a small-town farm in Oregon to every corner of the world.
“Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope” (2020)
With stark poignancy and political dispassion, Tightrope draws us deep into an "other America." The authors tell this story, in part, through the lives of some of the children with whom Kristof grew up, in rural Yamhill, Oregon, an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared.
“A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity” (2014)
An essential, galvanizing narrative about making a difference here and abroad—a road map to becoming the most effective global citizens we can be.
“Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide” (2010)
A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices
“Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia” (2000)
Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn bring to their revelatory book all the authority and insight of the fourteen years they spent covering Asia. They depict a continent poised to reassume the role it ceded five hundred years ago as the "center of the world." They muster convincing evidence that China may soon overtake the United States as the world's largest economy, that India is awakening from its long hibernation, that Japan is developing future consumer technologies that will benefit millions of people.
