Verenigde Staten
De gangen van de Amerikaanse macht komen tot leven door indringende verslagen over presidenten, beleid en cruciale momenten die het traject van de natie hebben gevormd. Deze meeslepende werken onderzoeken de complexe krachten achter de Amerikaanse politiek, economie en buitenlandse betrekkingen — van de dynamiek in het Witte Huis tot de veranderende rol van het land op het wereldtoneel.
