I find it incredible how quickly books on current events get conceived, written and published. It makes me reflect on what I get done over a similar time period. John Sopel’s book on the 2020 US election is the latest one that Amazon alerted me to. Published in mid-January!

@adoran2 I think unless someone gets a fix within a few months of something happening, it gets forgotten. Therefore everything needs to happen NOW. Whether that is to the detriment of quality and wider context, I could not say.....

@jaitalking I never buy anything that discusses such recent news unless I'm going to put it right at the top of my reading queue. Those books don't tend to age very well.
