Recenzii
Bryant has an encyclopedic knowledge of public affairs and popular culture ... The result is riveting, often revelatory, crammed with facts . The great strength of Bryant's book is his ability to make large structural changes vivid through outsized personalities and his own personal experiences . Readable, powerful and instructive.
A masterclass from an outstanding chronicler of modern America ... Insightful, thoughtful, and beautifully written.
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 you've been missing from the whole story, whilst never leaving you feeling stupid.
An absolutely belting achievement ... An elegy for a lost nation and a lost cause.
There are all too many people who can opine about the United States but there are very few with Nick Bryant's depth of knowledge, experience and empathy for the country and his ability to communicate intelligently, engagingly and entertainingly.
Bryant is a genuine rarity, a Brit who understands America.
A scathing indictment of the polarization and degradation that has transformed the US . [A]n adroit political critique.
Few outsiders explain America better than Nick Bryant or write about it as well. This is a must-read guide to an extraordinary time.
[Bryant] has a deeper understanding than many of the ebb and flow of history ... [His] breezy prose displays a keen eye for good quotations and telling anecdotes.
Listeners who want a perspective that's both outside and inside and crucially, that comes from a place of love for the US, should look out for When America Stopped Being Great.
Terrific. Very much recommended.
