A magisterial and profoundly perceptive survey of Britain's
post-war role on the global stage, from Suez to Brexit. 'The
fullest long-run political and diplomatic narrative yet of
Britain's fateful, tragi-comic road to Brexit.' DAVID KYNASTON 'An
instant classic . . . Stephens is a master of historical
codebreaking.' PETER HENNESSEY Award-winning Financial Times
journalist 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. 'Commanding . . .
Rarely if ever, in the history of the British state since 1707, has
one half of Britain's ruling elite committed an act of policy
viewed with such absolute contempt by the other half; and rarely
has that contempt been expressed with such elegance, such fluency,
and such a devastating wealth of supporting detail, as in this
mighty survey.' SCOTSMAN 'Profoundly knowledgeable.' CHRIS PATTEN
'Compelling.' LAWRENCE FREEDMAN 'A fascinating history.' IRISH
TIMES 'A magnificent, exhilarating book' PROSPECT
