About This Book

The essay argues that prevailing celebratory rhetoric about kinship between English-speaking nations is superficial and counterproductive, substituting flattering platitudes for sober policy and honest critique. It links domestic social and economic disorder to foreign-policy failures, contends that postwar propaganda discourages candid discussion of difficult issues, and warns that uncritical praise reassures supporters while alienating immigrant groups and critics. The author urges replacing denunciations and nostalgic sentiment with concrete programs, constructive debate, and careful cultivation of international understanding grounded in realistic assessment rather than sentimental ceremony.
