Book excerpt: The first volume of Pride and Fall explains the decay of British power between 1918 and 1940 and its final collapse between 1940 and 1945. Some have sought to explain this ineptitude, particularly between the two world wars, by citing the tremendous costs of the First World War. Not so, says Corelli Barnett, who ruthlessly identifies the root causes which reduced Britain eventually to a satellite of the USA.
