About this book
As well as presenting a lively narrative of events Bernard Porter explores a number of broad analytical themes challenging more conventional and popular interpretations. He sees imperialism as a symptom not of Britains strength in the world but of her decline; and he argues that the empire itself both aggravated and obscured deep-seated malaise in the British economy.
