In Someone Else’s Empire (Verso) Tom Stevenson, a contributing editor at the LRB, dispels the potent myth of Britain as a global player punching above its weight on the world stage, arguing instead that its foreign policy has for a long time been in thrall to the wishes and interests of the United States.
He was in discussion about his book with writer, filmmaker, publisher and activist Tariq Ali.
