THERE!

What does a story look like when the reporter is there?

In THERE!: On-Scene Reporting from a World Gone Mad, Brett Redmayne-Titley brings together 18 chapters of firsthand journalism and political commentary. Drawing on reporting in the United States, Ukraine, Lebanon, Turkey, and Moldova, he takes readers into encounters with people living through conflict, political upheaval, and institutional failure.

Four parts of A View to a Kill return to the police killing of Evan Kwik. Elsewhere, the book follows protest in San Diego, examines the prosecution of rapper "Tiny Doo" Duncan, and explores the tensions surrounding international trade negotiations. Reports on a major methane leak and the storage of nuclear waste sit alongside chapters about banking and America's foster care and court systems.

Redmayne-Titley's approach is personal and direct. Scenes, interviews, and observations are woven together with his arguments about government, corporate influence, civil liberties, and the human cost of political decisions. He presents allegations and challenges official accounts from his own perspective, inviting readers to consider the people and experiences behind the headlines.

For readers of independent journalism, international affairs, and outspoken political writing, THERE! offers a collection shaped by being on the scene. Its subjects cross borders, but a recurring concern connects them: how power is exercised, how it is experienced, and what a reporter chooses to question.
