| Abstract | "The impetus for so many decisions about British foreign policy comes from a desire to maintain lieutenant rank in the Washington hierarchy. But British leaders and defence specialists tend to dislike seeing Britain framed by American power. A great effort is required to clear away the build-up of irrelevant, nostalgic detritus around 'Global Britain'. Stevenson looks at the infrastructure of a US world order re-energised by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and fits the UK into the picture without the usual euphemisms"-- Provided by publisher. |
