The prize provides a growing list of books by astonishing authors to inspire, educate and inform.
To celebrate 25 years of the prize in 2023, we shared this one-off documentary with you. All The Best Stories Are True explores the history of the prize. From nail-biting moments to life changing stories, the documentary uncovers how the prize started out as the non-fiction rival to the Booker, and what the next two and a half decades hold for readers and writers in a world now steeped in ‘fake news’.
Find out more about all the books that made the 2023 longlist and shortlist here.
