and its potent legacy  from the Suez Crisis to the Falklands War  from the invasion of Iraq to
Brexit. It is a story of immigration and social unrest  multiculturalism and extremism  and a
nation continuously wrestling with its past. 'Incisive  important and incredibly timely . . .
for anyone wanting to understand how Britain became the nation it is today ' CAROLINE ELKINS
