Great to see the updated UK paperback of The Forever War out in the wild in London. New chapters on Trump 2.0 and the 2024 campaign.

It’s the 250-year backstory of Trumpism. It’s the history, stupid.

Even Liberace would have told his interior designer to tone it down a bit…..

UK publication day for the paperback edition of The Forever War. Two new chapters on Trump 2.0 and the 2024 election. The Trump presidency has been 250 years in the making. If you look at US history in a different light, as I try to do so in the book his shocking presidency isn’t such a shock.

Coming soon to the UK and US - the updated paperback version of The Forever War

Delighted that this is now out in the wild - the updated edition of The Forever War: America's Unending Conflicting with Itself.

A new chapter on Trump 2.0, and a new forward on the 2024 presidential election. It's the 250 year story of the rise of Donald Trump.

It’s a year since The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict with Itself was published. Huge thanks to all those who have read it, listened to it or watched me blather on about it. The book is the 250 year backstory of Donald Trump. 📷 Hugh Stewart

Always a great pleasure to do the Sydney Writers Festival - feels now like a home fixture. And great to share the stage with Barrie Cassidy, Emma Shortis and Peter Beinart

There’s a long history of American authoritarianism - and a long history of Americans supporting American authoritarianism. It’s a story I tell in The Forever War.
March 16, 2025 at 5:00 AM
The 250 year backstory - it’s all in there. The authoritarian strain, the flaws of the constitution which Trump is exploiting, the long history of demagoguery and political violence.

It was good while it lasted……

I’ve been fixated with America pretty much all my life, so it meant a lot to get a book in the Oval Office. When America Stopped Bring Great is all about the historical inescapability of Trump, oddly and fittingly. The Forever War is the prequel and sequel.

Nice to be nominated for this….

Happy new year

The model post-president - and a presidency under-valued at the time. Jimmy Carter’s brutal honesty was often interpreted as weakness. He told Americans hard truths that they didn’t want to hear, rather than going with the usual arias of US exceptionalism.
