Something is going badly wrong in America. But what is really happening, why, and what does it mean? Could the US itself now be the greatest threat to the future of the West? In this fascinating account of America today, Patrick Davies, former British Deputy Ambassador to the US, sets out to understand how America, blinded by myths of its own exceptionalism, has failed to tackle serious political, social and economic problems which are exacerbating divisions in its society, poisoning its politics and ultimately fuelling America's decline. The Great American Delusion asks whether, with global power shifting eastwards, the US can save itself and, with it, the Western world before it's too late. Patrick Davies worked alongside the Obama and Trump White Houses for five years. He has more than 30 years' experience of America, its people and its politics.

Autorenporträt
Patrick Davies is an author and charity fundraiser. He was a diplomat for 25 years, serving in Morocco, Poland and Iran before wrapping up his career as the UK's Deputy Ambassador to the USA from 2013-18. The Covid-19 pandemic saw Patrick returning to the north of England to help care for his dad who has Alzheimer's Disease. When setting out to walk across the UK in 2021, he decided to use the journey to raise much needed money for research into the condition. Since then, he has continued his nomadic lifestyle, walking almost 800 miles across the Pyrenees from Biarritz to Barcelona in 2022 and 720 miles along France's eastern border, crossing the Vosges, Jura and the Alps, in 2023. From these two treks, he has raised a further £15,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK.
