Description
British Imperialism A two volume survey which provides the most comprehensive and radical survey of the subject. Presents a new interpretation of the forces behind British imperial expansion. Volume One establishes the concept of `gentlemanly capitalism', examines the growth of empire and many of its controversial episodes, including the partition of Africa, and concludes -- against conventional wisdom -- that Britain was still a dynamic imperial power on the eve of World War I.Tags
