From the anchor of the hugely successful Americast podcast, a book about today’s America. A book about the nation that returned Trump to the White House, that exists now and is emerging, either with him or without him in the future.

Provocative, challenging but with the ever-reasonable voice we are so familiar with from the BBC's 'Today' and 'Americast', Justin Webb presents the argument that when elected in 2024, Trump was not all bad. That with the buffoonery and chaos there was also humour and drive. That in any case, in many areas Trump had the backing of a wide range of Americans, including many who did not particularly like the man himself. His second administration was in response to what came before. And also to social media, and circumstances no president had previously had to deal with. He made his opportunities and also surfed a wave. And while for him the wave may have broken, for America it is still rolling.

This is book about America – the one that exists now and the one that’s emerging, with Trump or without him, for better or worse. Trump did not get re-elected with a plan. He is as much an algorithm as a man, iteration built on iteration. So what got him elected? How should the Democrats respond? What happens next and what will it all mean for us?

Praise for Great Again?

A wise and fascinating explanation of how we ended up in this place, and where we’re headed, by one of Britain’s most consistently spot on journalists.

Hadley Freeman, Sunday Times columnist and author

Few commentators have as deep an understanding of the forces shaping modern America as Justin Webb. In Great Again? he mines that intelligence to deliver a rare thing: an honest and balanced examination of Donald Trump's transformational presidency and its lasting impact on the US. In personal and engaging prose that weaves the stories of regular Americans into the high politics of Washington, Webb captures the hopes and anxieties of a nation that created the turbulent politics of the last decade and provides valuable pointers to the future as the post-Trump era looms into view.

Gerard Baker, Wall Street Journal columnist and author

In Great Again? Justin Webb takes us beyond the well-rehearsed arguments about the shortcomings of the 47th president into a deeper world of American life and American opinion. He begins the debate about what happens next and does it with style, substance and originality. As someone who dealt face to face with Donald Trump, I recommend this book to anyone thinking about America’s future, or, indeed, our own.
