The grandson of a King. The son of the Viceroy of India. Churchill’s nephew. Held captive at the notorious Colditz prisoner of war camp, they were the Prominente: scions of the British establishment, and pawns in the hands of Nazi leaders. As a German defeat loomed, the SS head of the POW camps Gottlob Berger made a pivotal decision: he would disobey direct orders and spare their lives. ‘Please remember what I have done for you when the war ends,’ he asked. This Nazi overseer, who would later be convicted of war crimes, held their future in his hands. Eighty years later, David Lascelles – the son of George, Earl of Harewood, who would never have been born if his father had been executed – traces the Prominentes’ extraordinary journey and wonders who Gottlob Berger was and what motivated his fateful decision: compassion? Remorse? Or self-interest?

When Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, he ended the post-1945 Pax Americana which had underwritten eighty years of global stability and opportunity since World War II. After military interventions in Iran and Venezuela, and with Greenland on the cards, the United States seems to be returning to a former imperial age, dominated by itself, Russia and China. With its unparalleled military capabilities and its status as an economic guarantor to almost two thirds of the planet, this seems the likeliest outcome. But is the old world likely to reemerge from the shadows? Or can smaller states like Taiwan, Switzerland and Singapore provide a blueprint for how we can chart a bolder, more promising future? From the former Director of Chatham House, ‘After America’ is an original and surprising analysis of the post-America order – and a bold vision for the future of geopolitics.

We’re living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from, and how do we get out? Anthony Scaramucci’s electrifying answer – rooted in history, business, and first-hand experience – reveals the true origins of America’s current crisis, charting how both political parties made a series of catastrophic decisions that dismantled a post-war period of unprecedented stability and prosperity. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fuelled the anger that empowered Donald Trump’s rise and his assault on democracy. The story Scaramucci tells is ‘money-point-of-view history’: it gallops from Wall St to Main St, from the boardroom to the Situation Room.
