Summary

"Who are the British today? In Patriots, Richard Weight answers this question by examining the tortured history of the United Kingdom since the Second World War." "Throughout the book, the different national cultures of the UK and the often tempestuous relationship between the people of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are all analysed in detail. The blunders of Britain's rulers and the skill with which nationalists exploited them are exposed. However, this is not a story of decline but of renewal. It is about four nations who in half a century rediscovered and remade themselves, and in doing so came to understand each other better and live together more amicably."--Jacket.
