Empire-building And Empire-builders by Edward Ingram, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The twelve studies of empire-building and empire-builders which make up this volume range widely across the dream world that was the British Empire from the late eighteenth century to the Second World War. The essays re-interpret the work of imperial heroes, eminent historians, and fictional heroines. They illustrate the variety of techniques used by British empire-builders and the variety of explanations they gave to account for their sometimes infamous behaviour. | Empire-building And Empire-builders by Edward Ingram, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
