Description

From global superpower to British state. This highly topical book looks at how the British Empire's tentacles stretched far and wide from the African and Asian contintents to the Americas, and how these dependent states hit back, affecting in turn England itself. Empire is highly topical: release of Hong Kong, civil wars in Africa, troubled legacy of Indian independence   The various series on Empire, Jewel in the Crown, Rhodes and film have branded a strong general interest in England's glorious global past (as oppose to rather ignmon. present).
