-Titulo Original : When America Stopped Being Great A History Of The Present-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Continuum-Descripcion Original: About the Author Nick Bryant is known for being one of the BBCs most senior foreign correspondents, with postings in Washington DC, South Asia, Australia and, most recently, New York. He is the author of The Bystander: John F. Kennedy and the Struggle for Black Equality, Confessions from Correspondentland and The Rise and Fall of Australia. Nick studied history at Cambridge and has a doctorate in American history from Oxford. The Washington Post has noted: Bryant is a genuine rarity. A Brit who understands America. In 2021, he left the BBC, and now lives in Sydney with his wife and children. Nick Bryant is brilliant. He has a way of showing you what youve been missing from the whole story whilst never leaving you feeling stupid. - Emily MaitlisBryant is a genuine rarity, a Brit who understands America - Washington PostIn When America Stopped Being Great, veteran reporter and BBC New York correspondent Nick Bryant reveals how Americas decline paved the way for Donald Trumps rise, sowing division and leaving the country vulnerable to its greatest challenge of the modern era.Deftly sifting through almost four decades of American history, from post-Cold War optimism, through the scandal-wracked nineties and into the new millennium, Bryant unpacks the mistakes of past administrations, from Ronald Reagans celebrity presidency to Barack Obamas failure to adequately address income and racial inequality. He explains how the historical clues, unseen by many (including the media) paved the way for an outsider to take power and a country to slide towards disaster. As Bryant writes, rather than being an aberration, Trumps presidency marked the culmination of so much of what had been going wrong in the United States for decades - economically, racially, politically, culturally, technologically and constitutionally.A personal elegy for an America lost, unafraid to criticise actors on both sides of the political divide, When America Stopped Being Great takes the long view, combining engaging storytelling with recent history to show how the country moved from the optimism of Reagans Morning in America to the darkness of Trumps American Carnage. It concludes with some of the most dramatic events in recent memory, in an America torn apart by a bitterly polarised election, racial division, the national catastrophe of the coronavirus and the threat to US democracy evidenced by the storming of Capitol Hill.

Review “Bryant has an encyclopedic knowledge of public affairs and popular culture ... The result is riveting, often revelatory, crammed with facts … The great strength of Bryants book is his ability to make large structural changes vivid through outsized personalities and his own personal experiences … Readable, powerful and instructive.” Washington Post“A masterclass from an outstanding chronicler of modern America ... Insightful, thoughtful, and beautifully written.” Orla Guerin“Nick Bryant writes like a dream, and is one of those very rare things on TV - a man who makes you want to turn up the sound. His eye for description is sublime, and he has a way of showing you what youve been missing from the whole story, whilst never leaving you feeling stupid.” Emily Maitlis“An absolutely belting achievement ...

-Titulo Original : The War Came To Us Life And Death In Ukraine-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Continuum-Descripcion Original: A breathtaking exploration of Ukraines past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by the leading journalist of the conflict. When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and the foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russias war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier. This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Millers personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraines modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraines peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlins warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond. With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence...
