In his new book “Die zerrissenen Staaten von Amerika” (The Torn States of America), USA expert Arthur Landwehr traces the moods and expectations of U.S. voters at the start of the primaries and, in the event of the same name on 19 February 2024, talks with journalist Anina Laura Pommerenke about his book and his insights from many years in the United States.
