On the attack! - Koen Petersen

Donald Trump promised in 2016 that he would put an end to the old politics. He not only battled his political enemies, but also party members, lobbyists, media, commentators, allies, China, Mexico – well, who not, actually. Once president, he caused a sensation with his Twitter barrage, his fight against fake news and his blunt diplomacy. He complained about the witch hunt against him and his family and was almost deposed by his political enemies.

In this book, Koen Petersen follows Trump's turbulent presidency from month to month. How unique is that really? To answer this question, Petersen compares Trump to his historical predecessors and places his presidency in the history of the office. On the attack! is an erudite, balanced and witty account of four years of Trump.

Koen Petersen (1968) is a political scientist and Americanist. He lived in New York for some time, travels to the United States annually and closely follows developments in Washington. He previously wrote an often reprinted standard work on the American presidential elections, Final Goal White House .
