In recent years, the world of politics has taken a series of disastrous wrong turns. We have witnessed leaders who can't - or shouldn't be allowed to - lead, policies that are either self-serving or don't work, and world views that are corrosive or short term. Alastair Campbell's aim in But What Can I Do? is twofold: to explain why things have gone so wrong, and to show what we can to help put them right. A mix of polemic, analysis and practical advice, this is a political masterclass from a master political commentator and strategist.

There are few symbols of modern power as instantly recognisable as a man in a dark suit with an earpiece, scanning a crowd that is cheering for someone else. The posture is familiar, almost cinematic now. The face is neutral, but the attention is absolute. He is there to be unnoticed and yet, paradoxically, he is impossible to ignore.

Then, in a fraction of a second, he moves.

You've watched him dominate headlines for decades. You've seen him win an election everyone said was impossible, survive scandals that would destroy normal politicians, and build a following so loyal they'd follow him through hell wearing gasoline underpants. But here's what you haven't seen: the psychological machinery behind it all. This book rips apart the most persuasive president in modern history and shows you exactly how he does it. Not the surface-level stuff about Twitter and red hats.
