Beschrijving:
The essential account of the making of Donald Trump, his thinking, his foreign policy and its roots in American history.

'Insightful' Financial Times
'Instant and powerful illumination' Adam Tooze

On November 8 2016, Donald Trump won the American presidential election, to the surprise of many across the globe. With Trump as Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful country on earth, Americans and non-Americans alike were left wondering what this would mean for the world. It has been claimed that Trump's foreign policy views are impulsive, inconsistent and that they were improvised on the campaign trail. However, drawing on interviews from as far back as 1980, leading historians Charlie Laderman and Brendan Simms show that this assumption is dangerously false. Revealing that Trump has had a consistent position on international trade and America's alliances since he first considered running for president in the late 1980s, his foreign policy views have deep roots in American history. For this President, almost every international problem that has confronted the United States can be explained by the mistakes of its leaders. Yet, after decades of dismissing America's leaders as fools and denouncing their diplomacy, Trump now has to prove that he can do better.

This insightful and compelling book reveals the world view that Trump brings to the Oval Office, illuminating how that world view was formed, what might result if it is applied to foreign policy and the potential consequences for the rest of the world. An essential read.
