Why people recommend it
Royal Babylon by Heathcote Williams is a critical, poetic history examining the British monarchy, the actions of the royal family, and the political implications of hereditary power. Robert Evans recommended Royal Babylon on Behind the Bastards as a nice, easy-to-read poetic history detailing how the monarchy failed and how the queen messed things up, noting that he obtained a free copy online. Alongside the recommendation, Evans cited a specific passage from the book written by the English poet and activist Heathcote Williams. He quoted the text highlighting that the record of every United States president, without exception, would earn them seats in the dock at Nuremberg or at the International Criminal Court on genocide charges, yet such actions did not deter the royal family from honoring them. Evans used the passage to anchor his commentary on the relationship between global political atrocities and the honors bestowed by the British royal family, presenting Williams's book as an accessible yet scathing critique of institutional power and political hypocrisy.
