About this ebook
An editor at BBC-TV takes a witty and honest look at the “special” relationship between the US and the UK.
IMAGINE INVITING A BRIT TO A BARBECUE - THAT’S THIS BOOK.
Justin Webb was the BBC’s man in America. He covered politics and interviewed presidents, but more importantly he reported, as Alistair Cooke once did, on the rich tapestry of American life. This is his toast to a country he called home for the best part of a decade.
Webb’s America is a place of possibility and promise. He is scornful of those who think the nation is in decline, and posits an exciting new diplomatic era in which America diversifies its international relationships.
Cheers, America will make you smile. Its wry and heartfelt observations provide a redeeming vision of our country at a time when it is redefining its identity.
