More Description'Lethal.' That was the headline then-Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan ran in 2000 when George W Bush was voted in as President of the United States.Eight years and one disastrous military invasion later, and the circumstances of both men have changed somewhat. Having achieved celebrity as the 'nasty Brit' on the top-rated TV series in the US, Piers finds himself marooned across the pond in what is becoming one of the most turbulent periods in history for the world's only superpower. As he tours the States, Piers comes to understand the Americans: their attitudes, their sense of humour and their increased feelings of isolation. Whilst he meets his fair share of crazies, cranks and those who confuse patriotism with paranoia, he also realises that many others have ended up despising Bush. As election fever mounts, Piers finds that America may, at last, be on the cusp of change... A heady combination of cut-throat current affairs, era-defining international politics and celebrity tittle-tattle, God Bless America sees Piers bring his wit and insider insight to truly dissect the land of the (allegedly) free.
