London England: HarperCollins. Fine/Very Good. 1996. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 000255237X Harback Hardback. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. Tiny tear to bottom edge corner of D/J. In this impressively researched and always entertaining book, the author analyses the British imperial experience from the American Revolution to the present day. He examines the ways in which Empire affected both rulers and ruled, and the roles of significant personalities - from Queen Victoria to Nelson Mandella, Cecil Rhodes to Jomo Kenyatta, Joseph Chamberlain to Mahatma Gandhi. Did the maintenance of the Empire artificially prolong Britain's great Power status, camouflaging economic and national decline? Did it encourage chauvinistic, even racist, attitudes? Were the ruled better off under the British than they would have been under their own elites and leaders? What was the difference between exploitation and development? What, in the end, does the balance sheet of Empire look like? The story of Empire is central to Britain's national mythology and sense of its place in the world, and essential to an understanding of its changing role as we approach the end of the millennium. Denis Judd's fine, magisterial history does full justice to a complext and epic theme. Illustrated. 517 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .
