Le Pitch

Présentation de l'éditeur On its twentieth anniversary, here is a new edition of this leading general history of British imperialism, from its Victorian heyday to present times. For the Third Edition Bernard Porter has revised and updated the full text. As before, he combines a lively narrative of events with detailed analysis, challenging more conventional interpretations of the progress of imperialism - he argues that the empire both aggravated and obscured a deep-seated malaise in the British economy. For the new edition he has added a concluding section on the legacy of empire. In its revised form it remains as Historical Studies described it, ' the best synoptic view yet presented of the Empire since the coming of the New Imperialism'. Revue de presse 'As for Dr Porter's study, this reviewer found it one of the most captivating pieces he had read for a long time: his book abounds in wit, is studded with brief but telling phrases, and reveals an unerring eye for the relevant fact and apposite quotation'. Paul Kennedy, The Historical Journal 'a most valuable key to modern British colonial history. From this gripping and lucid exposition, we may gather an understanding not only of the initial intricacies of colonial problems...but of their alarming legacies.' Gerard Douds, History Today 'an extremely well-written, cleverly constructed book' Andrew Porter, Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History  Afficher moins Afficher plus
