Description

How did Britain become the servant of the world’s most powerful and corrupt men?

From accepting multi-million pound tips from Russian oligarchs, to the offshore tax havens, meet Butler Britain…

In his Sunday Times-bestselling expose, Oliver Bullough reveals how the UK took up its position at the elbow of the worst people on Earth: the oligarchs, kleptocrats and gangsters.

Though the UK prides itself on values of fair play and the rule of law, few countries do more to frustrate global anti-corruption efforts.

With a new introduction on the Ukraine crisis.
