Book Synopsis



A deep-dive into how ideas shape our world, offering a grand tour of history, logic, and the art of debate.

An inspiring, full-circle celebration of the history, science, and power of debate written for the next generation of thinkers by one of the most respected broadcasters of our time, Mishal Husain.

We live in a world overflowing with information, viral headlines, and conflicting viewpoints. Growing up today, the sheer volume of global conversation can feel dizzying. So, how do we look past all the noise and dissect what we are seeing in the news?

The Big Debate is an immersive, beautifully framed exploration of just that. Written for inquisitive minds aged 8-10, this book is a captivating celebration of why debate matters, how it shaped our history, and why it remains our most powerful tool for navigating current affairs today.
