Britain Alone: The Path from Suez to Brexit
The story of a nation’s attempt to reconcile its past and present in a confident national identity—in the description of the American statesman Dean Acheson, to find a role after the end of empire. It is a story of inflated ambition rubbing up against its diminished circumstance, of a glorious past and an unforgiving present, and ultimately of Britain’s effort over many decades to come to terms with its place as an important, but second rank power. It’s a story that touches at every turn neuralgic issues of national pride, identity and history.
