One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today.

This is a book for those that have tired of moral emptiness.

This is a book for everyone who wants something better.

"One Day is passionate, poetic and sickening. It is full of well-earned rage, frustration with those who need this morality to be spelled out . . . It is an important book, a must-read, if only for the reminder that history always comes down to one simple question: "When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power?"" - * The Guardian *

"Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This is . . . exceptionally powerful, as a howl of rage and grief against the status quo must be . . . there is no mistaking the urgency of the questions he asks about the asymmetry of global power, the myopia of western journalism and the costs of not holding both to account. This is a book that many will take issue with, and most will find uncomfortable, which makes it even more important. Discomfort, as he points out, is a luxury" - * Financial Times *
