If only they didn't speak English : notes from Trump's America

Books, Manuscripts
As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has experienced 'the greatest country on Earth' from a perspective that most could only dream of: he has travelled aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and seen first-hand the gaudy splendour of Donald Trump's billion-dollar empire. Jon has also witnessed the darker side of the United States today. He was on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri as the riots took hold; he has visited gun shows, where lethal weapons are exhibited and sold like DIY tools; and he has listened to would-be-presidents turn TV evangelists, as they place their judgements in the hands of a god in whom they believe unquestioningly. What Jon has discovered, is that for all we think we know the USA, it is - now more than ever - a truly foreign land. 'If Only They Didn't Speak English' is a fascinating, insightful, portrait of American life and politics seen through British eyes.
