When America Stopped Being Great

An elegant and insightful dissection of how a great nation lost its footing and the world’s respect. The tragedy is made all the more stark by the genuine love of America in Nick Bryant’s writing’ – Leigh Sales

‘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’ – Emily Maitlis

‘Bryant is a genuine rarity – a Brit who understands America’ – The Washington Post
