A panoramic history of the end of Britain as a global civic idea from the Second World War to the present day. Stuart Ward uncovers the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced and ultimately discarded as the British empire unravelled and the 'four nations' of the United Kingdom drew steadily apart.
