(It is a characteristic of British politics that, even in ...)
It is a characteristic of British politics that, even in times of crisis, there are always men to be found who will criticize severely their countrys action and expound sympathetically the case for their countrys enemies. I think we may well be proud of this characteristic. It is one that could only be found in a community which is highly civilized ;whose heart is set on honourable dealing and not merely on success, and whose citizens in general trust one another and are free from panic. For these few who protest are not traitors, and no sensible person ever thinks they are. They may be right or wrong on the main issue ;their motives may vary from the purest love of justice to divers degrees of prejudice or pigheadedness or personal pique. But they are never guilty, and never seriously suspected, of either treachery or corruption. No government ever persecutes them. No mob seriously maltreats them. They are unpopular, but nothing more. And certainly the present writer would be among the very last to judge any one harshly for being the friend of every country but his own .H ehas too often been called that name himself, and has been proud of it. He is not going to blame any one for being pro-G erman in the only sense in which the term can be fairly used ;that is, of being anxious to state the case for Germany as clearly and fairly as possible, and to help us to understand our enemies. In the other sense, in the sense of wishing the Germans to win the war, there are, I believe, no pro-G ermans among the sane inhabitants of Great Britain.

This is a timely exploration of national identity in Great Britain over nine hundred years of history. Our attitudes to the nation state are changing - national assemblies in Scotland and Wales and growing pressures for regional assemblies. In his vigorous new survey, Professor Robbins provides the background to these changing attitudes. He considers the development as well as the possible disintegration of the sense of "Britishness" among the inhabitants of Britain and investigates how - and why - they have preserved their own national and regional identities across several centuries of co-existence. Keith Robbins is Vice Chancellor of the University of Wales Lampeter. Among his many books, Longman has also published his highly successful study The Eclipse of a Great Power: Modern Britain 1870-1992 (Second Edition 1994). He is also General Editor of Longman's famous series ofProfiles in Power, with over 20 titles already in print and many more in preparation.

Keith Robbins' accessible and stimulating account of world history since 1945 provides a framework for making sense of the political and social developments of the period. The focus is firmly on global political interaction. The underlying theme of the book is the tension between the world conceived as a unity and as a diversity. From this perspective, the author discusses the impulse towards globalization in the aftermath of the Second World War, the divisions inherent in the Cold War, and the shifting allegiances and conflicts in the decades which followed.

He ends with an assessment of our position with regard to world unity and disunity as the millennium approaches.
