American Breakdown The Trumo Years and How They Befell Us

Informationen zum Autor David Bromwich is Sterling Professor of English at Yale University and the author most recently of The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke , Moral Imagination , and Skeptical Music . Klappentext American Breakdown is the brilliant political diary of one of America's leading essayists, David Bromwich, whose work has drawn wide appreciation for its incisive portraits and accurate prognosis. From his analysis of the Cheney-Bush co-presidency, in which foreign policy was reduced to permanent war, and Barack Obama's practice of reconciliation without truth, Bromwich chronicles the emergence of Donald Trump?the demagogue of a culture of corruption from which all traces of political interest and candour have dropped away. An unsparing account of the degradation of American democracy, the book leads off with a new introduction on the prospects for change during the new Democratic Congress.
