Correlli Barnett brings to a majestic finale his acclaimed Pride and Fall quartet, tracing Britains decline from world power. He argues that between the Korean conflict in 1950 and the Suez debacle in 1956, Britain threw away her last opportunity to re-invent herself as an industrial nation state. The Verdict of Peace explains why this happened and how the national character itself aided this decline.
