An America not merely fractured but altogether splintered by extremism, hyperpartisanship, unprecedented vitriol and widespread disdain for democracy. A world order threatened by autocracies, and a Europe threatened by a tyrant demonstrably ready to conquer territory by force. A Mideast taken hostage by genocidal terrorist enterprises funded by Iran, long adjudged the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror. And that’s just for starters. For Americans struggling to keep up with a 24/7 cycle of news—or what purports to be news—it feels as though we are on the brink. And it feels that way because we are. Notes From the Brink is a collection of columns written from 2019 through early 2024 by syndicated columnist Jeff Robbins, a nationally recognized First Amendment attorney and a former United States Delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The columns are by turns forceful, exasperated, outraged, incredulous, ironic and passionate. They have in common an appeal to good sense and basic decency in the belief that sense and decency are at least a starting point for pulling us all back from the brink.
