It asserts that this wasn't a series of isolated incidents, but rather an institutionalized approach to statecraft where agreements and promises were viewed as tactical instruments to be violated when convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe document traces this pattern from medieval treaties in Ireland, like the Treaty of Windsor, to modern events like Brexit. It identifies key techniques of duplicity, including: the deliberate use of ambiguous language to create deniable obligations, the exploitation of cultural and legal differences for strategic advantage, the systematic abandonment of allies once their usefulness expired, and the use of constitutional promises to maintain control. The book claims that these methods were refined in colonial \"laboratories\" like Ireland and India before being exported globally. The text concludes by asserting that this institutional legacy of deception continues to influence British foreign policy and has contributed to a global climate of mistrust in international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcas Clotter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798264149474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Marcas Clotter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801109180671,"sku":"9798264149474","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perfidious-albion-marcas-clotter-9798264149474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
