The Unwinding

Briljant boek als je wilt begrijpen hoe Trump aan de macht is gekomen. Zonder meer een van de beste boeken over de recente geschiedenis van Amerika.

An incredibly detailed and often engaging history of the last 40-50 years or so. It's also strangely dispassionate. I suppose the author is trying to present things how they actually occurred, using the collection of vignettes and stories to make a point, but it was different that a lot of other non-fiction, where the point is much more overt. I also suppose that it's strange that I'm complaining about a book being subtle and understated in much of its commentary. There are probably a lot of people who would think that's a good thing.
