Butler to the World: The Book the Oligarchs Don't Want You to Read
by: Oliver Bullough

Hardcover. NY, St. Martin's Press, 1st, 2022, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 278 pages. "How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything." Butler to the World reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs. This book lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally. Clean copy.
