'I like and trust Jon Sopel and you should too' JOE LYCETT
'A thrilling, nerve-wracking book. You couldn't make the last ten years up; thanks to Jon Sopel, you don't have to' PETER FRANKOPAN
'A hugely entertaining and quite traumatic rollercoaster' ARMANDO IANNUCCI
'Acute and unflinching - Sopel deploys his foreign correspondent skills on home shores as well as far ones, and brings together the story of a tumultuous few years on both sides of the Atlantic' MISHAL HUSAIN
Returning to the UK in some ways has been disconcerting – or maybe discombobulating would be a better word. It is, after all, my home; it is where I grew up, a country I love and am proud of. But either it’ s changed, or I have. Maybe both.
It just feels like a strange land.
After eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK to find a very different place than the one he left. In his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, Jon explores what has happened to the country he once knew. Either Britain has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’ s both.
As a second Trump administration begins, and a new chapter of American history exerts its influence over our own isle, Strangeland paints an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.
