After WWII, Britain had a vision of renewing and even expanding their Empire, seeing the British Empire as a superpower in a new world order. Superpower Britain looks at what actually happened to Britain in the post-war period and how reality looked so different from the ideas put forward by leading politicians, civil servants, and experts.
