Summary
Where were you when John F. Kennedy was shot? Today the answer more often than not is going to be ‘not born’. You have to be some way past 45 to know where you were when Kennedy was shot in Dallas in 1963. A generation later, you could ask the same question about the World Trade Centre. Where were you when the plane hit the twin towers on 11 September 2001? But this book is about what happened between those two moments. The world’s perception of America changed between those two waves.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
A.A. Gill sees things very differently, and in this collection of penetrating and abrasive essays he takes issue with any number of lazy cliches. * THE MAIL ON SUNDAY *This immensely entertaining collection of pieces inspired by Gill’s love and knowledge of America provides a welcome reminder of his gift for sharp, clever and vigorous prose. In all of them, he shows his skill in fusing cultural and historical knowledge, personal anecdotes and trenchant opinions. * THE SUNDAY TIMES *
