Made in America

The dark history that led to Donald Trump




Is the Donald Trump presidency 'unprecedented', as is so often claimed? Or is it in fact as American as apple pie? Veteran Radio 4 broadcaster Edward Stourton offers a dark retelling of US history, from religious intolerance to state-sponsored racism, and its troubling echoes in the present.

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.
