Britannia Overruled Zusammenfassung

Britannia Overruled: British Policy and World Power in the 20th Century D. Reynolds

A century ago, Britannia ruled the waves and straddled the globe. Today she is a peripheral member of the European Community. David Reynolds offers a distinctive explanation of this "decline". His innovative survey of British overseas policy since the 1890s also provides a penetrating essay on the nature of power, illuminating the whole pattern of international relations in the twentieth century.

Britannia Overruled Bewertungen

'This provocative book, based on wide-ranging and up-to-date printed sources as well as manuscripts, will, as the author intends, be useful to mature scholars, students of history and politics, and a good many general readers.' British Politics Group Newsletter 'This account of Britain's demise as a world power in the twentieth century is a welcome blend of two different sorts of history: both a narrative of decline and a philosophical investigation into the nature and logic of power.' The Independent
