ISBN: 9781408269206.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a broad survey of the history of the British Empire from its beginnings to its demise. It offers a comprehensive analysis not just of political events and territorial conquests but paints a picture of what life was like under colonial rule, both for those who ruled and for those whose countries came under British authority.\nThere has been a lively debate in recent years about whether empires generally are good or bad things, and the British Empire has been very much at the centre of that debate, with a number of voices arguing that it was a kinder, gentler Empire than its rivals. This book speaks specifically to that debate, and also to a second and equally vigorous debate about whether anyone in Britain actually cared about the possession of an Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255189299253,"sku":"ByrdShop_1408269201","price":56.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781408269206_dd19fa8e-c097-4f60-921d-fae4a150f20d.jpg?v=1779924867","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-british-empire-9781408269206","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
