The author of Handbook of Tyranny offers an unflinching yet ultimately optimistic critique of America’s past, present and future
On July 4, 2026, the United States will celebrate 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Adopting a stance from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Theo Deutinger (born 1971), author of the bestselling Handbook of Tyranny, opposes ongoing attempts to rewrite American history, and thus the history of Europe. All About U.S. challenges the manifold myths—from white lies to monolithic propaganda—that have contributed to the idea of American exceptionalism. Participation in the transatlantic slave trade, a deeply ingrained sense of unlimited expansionism and the spread of half-baked technological innovations mark US–European history as a shared, fraught project. Through its concise, transparent language and fact-based narrative, All About U.S. provides insights into the current state of America, Europe and the world, embedded in a historical context.
