 This book looks at Britain in a post colonial viewpoint after WW2 and the lost of empire with different conflict of alliances whether to be closer to America or join forces with Europe and how this conflict of interests and Britain living in the past of Empire and not re adjusting to the new realities of the world.
This conflict had effects on foreign policy economics as Britain delayed initially joining what became the EU (EEC) and relying on American heavily for a nuclear weapons as Britain lagged behind post WW2.
