Description

Jon Sopel's insightful portrait of American life and politics explores a country in turmoil. As the BBC's North America Editor, Sopel has experienced America from a unique perspective, from flying aboard Air Force One to interviewing President Obama. Through his observations, he sets out to answer questions about a nation that once stood for grand dreams but is now mired in political extremism and social division.

With a new chapter charting Trump's first year in power, Sopel delves into the complexities of American society, examining the ways in which music, film, literature, TV, and even food and fashion reflect the country's values. This fascinating book offers a nuanced understanding of America's current state, one that is both thought-provoking and timely.

Updated with new material, Sopel's book provides a fresh perspective on a country that feels increasingly alien to many. By exploring the tangled history and shared values that shape American identity, Sopel sheds light on the challenges facing the nation today.
