Is Britain’s Power
Diminishing?
From New Delhi, Beijing and Wash-
ington, Daily Telegraph correspon-
dent Peter Foster has reported the
world for a British audience. But
what these readers do not necessarily
get, he increasingly worries, is just
how insignificant their own country
risks becoming.
FACING FACTS examines where today's United Kingdom
really stands in the world. Bringing together insights from
current and former British and foreign officials, think tankers
and pundits, it paints a picture of a nation which really
doesn't know what it wants. And one which the world may,
he warns, simply wind up ignoring.
