Story
In 1962 the American statesman Dean Acheson famously charged that Britain had lost an empire and failed to find a new role. Nearly 60 years later the rebuke rings true again. Britain's postwar search for its place in the world has vexed prime ministers and government since the nation's great victory in 1945: the cost of winning the war was giving up the empire. After the humiliation of Anthony Eden's Suez expedition, Britain seemed for a time to have found an answer.

Story
A fierce, mordantly funny and perceptive book, from the author of Ship of Fools, about the act of national self-harm known as Brexit. In exploring the answers to the question 'why did Britain vote leave?', Fintan O'Toole finds himself discovering how trivial journalistic lies became far from trivial national obsessions; how the pose of indifference to truth and historical fact has come to define the style of an entire political elite; and how a country that once had colonies is redefining itself as an oppressed nation requiring liberation.

Where now are three circles which defined the United Kingdom’s position in the world - the special relationship with the USA, leadership of the Commonwealth, and membership of the European Union? What did membership of the European Union really mean and did Britain really understand what it had signed up to? The national narrative has gone and its destruction is hugely damaging to the institutions which embodied it. Whatever the outcome of Brexit, Britain will have to develop one new narrative from the three mainly fictitious circles of the past.

What just happened, and how did we get into this mess? Since 2016, the UK has been in a crisis of its own making. This is not the fault of Brexit but of a larger problem of our politics. The status of political parties, the mainstream media, public experts and officials have all been disrupted. Along the way, there have been shocking and exhilarating events: the unforeseen 2017 election result, the horrific details of Grenfell Tower and the Windrush scandal, the sudden rise and fall of the Brexit Party.

Woods separates the history from the fantasy, debunks dangerous and pervasive myths about Britain's past and explores the ways in which nostalgia has historically been mobilised in Britain across the political spectrum, from the radical left to the nationalist right, for both good and for ill.

In his brilliantly illuminating new book Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of what we consider to be modern Britain is actually rooted in our imperial past. In prose that is, at once, both clear-eyed and full of acerbic wit, Sanghera shows how our past is everywhere: from how we live to how we think, from the foundation of the NHS to the nature of our racism, from our distrust of intellectuals in public life to the exceptionalism that imbued the campaign for Brexit and the government's early response to the COVID crisis. And yet empire is a subject weirdly hidden from view.

Fintan O'Toole was born in 1958. His life covers Ireland's journey out of underdevelopment and domination by the Church, to the country's transformation into the relatively prosperous and tolerant society that it is today. But, along the way, there was a sectarian civil war in the North, which cast a dark shadow over the whole island, and bitter struggles for intellectual, civil and sexual freedoms. This is a very personal history by a writer who is considered by many to be the country's leading public intellectual.

The Suez Crisis of 1956 was Britain's 20th-century nadir, the moment when the once superpower was bullied into retreat. In the immortal words of former US Secretary of State Dean Acheson, 'Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role.' But the funny thing was, Britain had already found a role. It even had the costume. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet. Butler to the World reveals how the UK took up its position at the elbow of the worst people on Earth: the oligarchs, kleptocrats and gangsters.

From Brexit Britain to Trump's America to Orban's Hungary, liberal values are under attack. In a soaring narrative that stretches from the English Civil War to the 2008 financial crash and the rise of populism, the journalist Ian Dunt tells the epic story of liberalism, from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day resistance against the new populism. This book explains the political ideas which underpin the modern world. But it is also something much more than that - it is a rallying cry for those who still believe in freedom and reason.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

Dispatches from our man in Washington
- By papapownall on 07-10-20
Summary
A thoughtful, articulate and important book about the rise of English nationalism and the impending breakup of the United Kingdom from one of the finest BBC journalists of the last 20 years.
How Britain Ends is a book about history, but also about the strange, complicated identity of Britishness. In the past, it was possible to live with delightful confusion: one could be English, or British, Scottish or Irish and a citizen/subject of the United Kingdom (or Great Britain). For years that state has been what Gavin Esler calls a 'secret federation', but without the explicit federal arrangements that allow Germany or the USA to survive.
Now the archaic state, which doesn't have a written constitution, is coming under terrible strain. The English revolt against Europe is also a revolt against the awkward squads of the Scottish and Irish, and most English conservatives would be happy to get rid of Northern Ireland and Scotland as the price of getting Brexit done. If no productive trade deal with the EU can be agreed, the pressures to declare Scottish independence and to push for a border poll that would unite Ireland will be irresistible.
Can England and Wales find a way of dealing with the state's new place in the world? What constitutional, federal arrangements might prevent the disintegration of the British state, which has survived in its present form for 400 years?

Good, but a bit of a rant
I have always respected Gavin Esler as a journalist, and broadly agree with his thesis. He did however cross the rubicon into politics when he stood as a candidate for Change U.K. He does tend to go on a bit in when he has already more than made the point in that it becomes a bit of a rant, which detracts from good work. A more pithy impactful narrative would have carried more weight (for example, why is Louis De Bernieres an example he explores at such length? And why is his view even vaguely important?) As an Englishman who has lived in Scotland, London, northern England and have many friends from all four nations, many of the points he raises do chime with me and what friends and colleagues from all nations have said. The sad thing is that I think it is too late, and even more sad, I’m not sure how much I can care anymore as this seems an irreversible evolution within these nations.

A stylish and very informative book
I found this a thoughtful and well researched book. I hope it will be very widely read because it clarifies many confusing issues.
Also, the reader, Robin Laing, has a very pleasing voice.
Gavin Esler has, through his personal experience and ancestry gained many insights into the history and regional factors that have shaped the characteristics of our disparate island nations. I think I have finally understood matters that I have never heard so clearly explained before. It is not a dry academic text but a vibrant book of ideas passionately expressed.
Not just history and analysis but practical suggestions for reform.
A solid five *****

I couldn't get into this book
This book is all about how Britain is a federation of separate nations, somewhat bullied by the hedgemonic England. I find this obsession with 'looking for difference' unwelcome and destructive. Everyone seems to need to identify with some minority, preferably persecuted, these days. I've always lived in England and maybe you can argue that my lack of interest in the feelings of minorities is exactly the problem. My view is that we have real problems (Russia, gas prices, inflation, NHS) and we won't solve those by navel-gazing on small, hard to define, possibly imaginary, cultural divides. So I gave up about three chapters in.

Informative, but at times poor narration
Gavin Esler knows his subject, and I particularly enjoyed his demolition of Lord Frost. However, I just wish he had narrated it himself, as I got intensely annoyed by some bizarre pronunciations and accents. Just one hideous example: George Mikes’ surname is pronounced as the plural of Mike, instead of the more normal ‘Meekesh’. I feel sure that GE would not have made this, and many other irritating mistakes.

Interesting first half
I like the book for the first half. The second half began to annoy me mainly because the authors political bias came through, which for the large part I disagree with. He is reporting the facts but the words he uses to describe certain situations, politicians changes on who it is about. For example Tory bashing and SNP praise. Sure its about politics and the author has the right to his views, was just a struggle to finish it!
The first half was good as it was just giving the facts, wasn't much political about it just more why people are nationalistic and how we can move forward.

recommended - with one caveat
A very good summary of the current situation and potentially very enlightening to anyone who hasn't been paying attention. I have one objection. Gavin has to suggest a federal solution but makes no mention of the fact that for such a solution to be implemented the people of England would have to vote first for a government to suggest it and then yes in a referendum to confirm it. This will "never" happen. Here in October 2021 motions on PR have just been voted down at the Labour conference. Not only do Labour look at least a decade from power they don't even support the key policies needed. I suggest Gavin moves back to Edinburgh so he can vote in the up coming Indy ref!
(For the record I write this from my home in Edinburgh. I was born British in the great city of Bristol but have been in Scotland nearly 30 years. I never really considered myself English but strangely friends and family South of the border have become English, or more explicitly English, in my absence. I now consider myself Scottish first then a disenfranchised European. Britishness is long gone. )

Reasonable account of a state passing out of history
This is a decent essay by a reasonable man, offering a reasonable account of the sources behind the UK’s current crisis of identity.
Esler’s Scottish conscience can’t help but force him to be more honest about those sources, their contradictory natures and their workings out on the peoples of these islands than one usually finds in other similar works.
So he avoids the worst of the rose-tinted nostalgia he interrogates very well, yet he can’t help glancing back himself through a certain sepia-tinged gauze, and fails to make explicit certain connections and resonances that might pick out the glints of the harder edges to ‘Britishness’ that has underpinned that conquest state over the past three centuries. The suggestion that Bridget Cleary’s murder was somehow representative of the Irish Catholic community in general of the time and thus justify Protestant opposition to home rule is ludicrous. We hear about his ancestors in 1912 and their supposedly reasonable decision to stick with the UK; not so much about the proto-fascism and ethnic cleansing in the province 1920-22.
Indeed, for all the references to the ‘four nations’, Gavin doesn’t really provide any reason to credit Northern Ireland with a status equivalent to that of the three historic nations on the island of Britain. And one cannot escape the feeling that, like most non-English unionists charmed and mystified by what ‘Britishness’ means, Gavin simply missed that at root it’s a pseudo-nativist cosplay of a kind of Britannic “romanitas” by English elites, indulged in with the same amateurish spirit of ambiguity they bring to so many of the games they play between themselves.
With those legendary gifts for omission and understatement that mark the English aristocratic tradition, it was easy to overlook it as a Jock or a Paddy or a Taffy on the make in London. But it remained true nevertheless. Britain, Albion, the UK, the British Isles: it really doesn’t matter, for it was all only ever England, for England; this was a truth not requiring explicit uttering, but one tacitly approved of and maintained by all the right sort of people, from the better families and with the proper qualifications.
Anyway, still a decent if flawed light essay on current affairs improved greatly by some great narration.
