Praise for Made in America

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.
