The story is fascinating and well told; but there is still a great deal worth arguing. For example, did the British decline because the US could not be stopped, or because of problems within the British Empire and at home?
针对过去那段精彩历史已经有大量论述；但依然有很多问题值得深究。 比如说，英国的衰落是否是因为美国的不可遏制，而是源自于整个大英帝国或者英国本土的内部问题？
