BRITAIN ALONE: THE PATH FROM SUEZ TO BREXIT (PB)

A magisterial and profoundly perceptive survey of Britain's post-war role on the global stage, from Suez to Brexit. Philip Stephens paints a fascinating portrait of sixty years - from Suez to Brexit - as Britain struggles to reconcile its waning power with its past glory. Drawing on decades of personal contact and interviews with senior politicians and diplomats in Britain, the United States and across the capitals of Europe, Britain Alone is a magisterial and deeply perceptive history of our nation and how we arrived at the state we are in.
