While much of the US media and the professional political classes
whip themselves into a frenzy as to how President Trump got into
office and how he is behaving there, the views that really matter -
as always - are those of the voters. In her first book, RTE's
former Washington Correspondent Caitriona Perry goes beyond the
news reports and delves into the American heartland where she
witnessed the rise of Donald Trump at first hand. Speaking to the
people who voted for President Trump, she brings to the table the
voices of the American people who, too-long ignored and on the
edges of an increasingly divided society, rallied their votes and
shook the world. In speaking to the workers of the industrial
heartland, the women of America, the voices of the immigrant
communities, In America answers the question everyone is asking in
the wake of one of the most shocking election results in modern
times - how did this happen? A new afterword reflects on Donald
Trump's presidency to date and revisits the people spoken to in
2016, giving a valuable insight into what we can expect from
election 2020. Top 10 book on the Donald Trump presidency. The
Independent, UK Nominated for the BGEIBAS Non-Fiction Book of the
Year Award 'An illuminating travelogue which helps to shed some
light on the multifarious reasons why ordinary voters backed the
reality TV star.' The Independent (UK). 'A revealing and insightful
piece of reportage by a journalist who refuses to become part of
the story.' The Sunday Business Post 'In America is a worthwhile
and eminently readable book ... the version of Trump's America that
Perry presents brings many essential and revealing factors into
sharp focus.' The Irish Times 'A tour-de-force analysis of the
current state of play in American politics.' Larry Donnelly,
political commentator and lecturer in the School of Law at NUIG
'Spellbindingly good. Journeying across America, Caitriona Perry
masterfully takes us into the hearts and minds of those who voted
for Donald Trump. A triumph of a book.' Prof. Gary Murphy, Head of
the School of Law and Government, DCU
