About this product

Product Information

The definitive book on the making of Trump's America from the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel. Now updated with an exclusive new chapter. 'You see, if only they didn't speak English in America, then we'd treat it as a foreign country - and probably understand it a lot better''the sanest man in America' - Bill Bryson'Jon Sopel nails it' - Emily Maitlis**With a brand new chapter, charting Trump's first year in power**As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the time it's taken for a reality star to go from laughing stock to leader of the free world, Jon has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, experiencing it from a perspective that most of us could only dream of- he has flown aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and has even been described as 'a beauty' by none other than Donald Trump.Through music, film, literature, TV and even through the food we eat and the clothes that we wear we all have a highly developed sense of what America is and through our shared, tangled history we claim a special relationship. But America today feels about as alien a country as you could imagine. It is fearful, angry and impatient for change.In this fascinating, insightful portrait of American life and politics, Jon Sopel sets out to answer our questions about a country that once stood for the grandest of dreams, but which is now mired in a storm of political extremism, racial division and increasingly perverse beliefs.

  • A brilliant, entertaining and educational book so well written with great insight and humour

    This is a brilliant, entertaining and educational book so well written with great insight and humour. It is both absolutely of the moment and timeless. I have visited America over the past 40 years, including many road trips so have covered many states and thought I understood the USA but so much is based on assumptions that both the Americans and the British make of where we are each coming from in our understanding of each other. This book made me reconsider and helped me to understand our differences. It is a revelation and I re-read it immediately to take it all in. It's such an easy read, John Sopell has a wonderful dry sense of humour (and he rides a Harley!! - my reason for those many road trips) I couldn't put down this fascinating book. Read it!
