"More than 50 years after its first publication, Jones' book is still a valuable resource for advocates against the death penalty across the world." --Matthew Coe, Hearsay Praise for What Is To Be Done: "Almost four decades ago, Barry Jones foretold the future with his seminal book, Sleepers, Wake! Now, he is back, with new energy and insights. For those wanting to understand the confounding age in which we live, What Is To Be Done is essential reading. I hope it will galvanize the many debates we need to have if we are to shape a better future." --Julia Gillard AC Praise for What Is To Be Done: "The author of this book is a genius. He irritates the hell out of people of all political loyalties. He reads virtually everything that matters. In these pages we, his readers, are the beneficiaries.

Forty years after his masterpiece Sleepers, Wake! he tackles the challenges of a new age: the digital world, climate change, COVID-19, and widespread political disillusionment. If any author can offer us thoughtful directions for what is to be done, it is Barry Jones." --Michael Kirby AC CMG Praise for What Is To Be Done: "[Barry Jones is an] irrepressible, hugely intelligent, always insightful and utterly unique man . What Is To Be Done blends an astonishing array of scholarly research­ with insights from history, philosophy and literature, coupled with biographical reflections and anecdotes, to assemble political and policy recommend­ations that make a persuasive case for a new way forward." --Troy Bramston, The Australian.
