Description
|
|
|
|
In this account of Britain's rise and fall over the past 200 years, history professor Jeremy Black paints a provocative image of a once great nation reduced to a mere component of the European Union. The achievements and innovations of Britain's inventors and industrialists once were the foundation for a global nation, he explains, and though these were true advantages in their time, the country today has outgrown its industrial and commercial empire. Britain is searching for a new role and a new place among the leading nations, and Black argues that further integration with Europe would represent a foolish surrender of everything that is significant in the nation's history.
