On the Road: Adventures from Nixon to Trump - by James Naughtie

As expected, a good read from a well-informed author. The book has lots of detail on many aspects of US politics over the time period that he covers and I learned a great deal. Oddly, it seems a little “thin” on the Obama era, even though Naughtie clearly liked the approved of the guy. His attitude to Trump is also clear.
The book took a while for me to read, as, despite being well written, it is quite dense - there is a lot of information. I was very slightly disappointed by there being so few personal “adventure” stories, but it was a worthwhile read nevertheless.
