Critics Review
A well argued and elegant answer to the question, ‘how did America get to this place?’ The connection between Donald Trump and American history is too little explored and too little understood: Ed Stourton places him in context and does so with wit and fine judgement… The ideal antidote to the coarseness of the times. – Justin Webb, presenter of Radio 4 Today and Americast, author of The Gift of a RadioPithy, entertaining and informative … Stourton makes a persuasive case that Trump is a logical outcome of American history – Charlie English * Guardian *‘Useful … Even if you know much of the history Stourton relates, you may be shocked to have it all set out for you so efficiently.’ – Erica Wagner * Observer *
