Hardcover. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Condition good with dust jacket. ref ZKVQ A breadth of perspective few other imperial historians can boast. The British Empire really does look different in the light of it . Breadth of vision, fizzing ideas and a brilliant style as well as superb scholarship . It deserves to supplant every other book on this topic, including - though my publisher and bank manager won't thank me for saying this - my own. It is British imperial history at last without hang-ups; the one we've been waiting for (Bernard Potter History Today) A brilliantly perceptive analysis of the forces and ideas that drove the creation of an extraordinary enterprise . Bringing together his huge erudition, scrupulous fairness and elegant prose, Mr Darwin has produced a wonderfully stimulating account of something that today seems almost incredibly yet was, in historical terms, only yesterday. It is also a much-needed antidote both to the leftish consensus of the past 50 years that Britain's empire was unrelievedly awful . and the recent triumphalist revisionism of more conservative historians (Economist) Engrossing . What Darwin adds to this insight is a rare, wonderful capacity for comparison. Empire here is a jigsaw of dreams and anxieties, conquests and loss of faith . Seeing the imperial experience in the round like this does gives us a clearer, more subtle appreciation of the range of power and violence at play. It raises the historical writing on empire to another level (BBC History Magazine) Balanced, original and impressive . Subtle . intelligent (Literary Review) Comprehensive . Darwin's erudition allows him to skirt around the narrow orthodoxies of apologist v critic and provide an insightful account of Britain's unlikely period of global hegemony (Sunday Times) How incredibly refreshing it is when as distinguished an historian as John Darwin . writes something as thoughtful, well-researched and persuasive as Unfinished Empire, which explains the half-millennium-long expansion of Britain across the globe in terms that genuinely make sense . The author's deep familiarity with all the key sources of this vast subject allows him to pluck examples for his arguments from across the centuries and continents . Best of all . is the thought that Darwin's book might at long last herald the victory of the post-Marxist phase of imperial historiography, and not a moment too soon (Andrew Roberts Sunday Telegraph Book of the Week) John Darwin's Unfinished Empire surpasses even his own previous work to give an unmatched overview of imperial Britain's rise and fall (Stephen Howe Independent BOOKS OF THE YEAR) [Darwin] emerges from the imperial brine with poise and balance where lesser historians would have beached themselves like lost whales . In Unfinished Empire, he turns his attention to the British Empire's why, who and how: small words that signify very big questions . the breadth of Darwin's learning is impressive . [his] tone throughout is admirably detached and scholarly, though his dry wit keeps it well away from being boring . Sharp, thoughtful, enjoyable and levelheaded (New York Times Book Review) About the Author John Darwin was until his retirement last year Professor of Imperial and Global History at the University of Oxford. He is the author of After Tamerlane, Unfinished Empire and The Empire Project.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 478 pages. dj wornThe enormous influence of the British Empir e cannot be escaped. It has shaped the world in countless ways, r epopulating continents, carving out nations, imposing its languag e, technology and values. For perhaps two centuries its existence , expansion, and final collapse could be seen as the single large st determinant of historical events. Now that it has gone, it see ms to us baffling that such a strange global system could have on ce been so powerful. What was the dynamic that led English-speak ers to stand on the shores of the Pacific, to control the world's seaways, and create the financial institutions that transformed the global economy? John Darwin's provocative and richly enjoyabl e new book is an attempt to make us see anew how diverse, unpredi ctable and even chaotic the British Empire really was, controlled by interests that were often at loggerheads, and as much driven on by the weakness of others as by its own strength. Unfinished Empireexplains what allowed the makers of Empire to be so sure of their right to claim North America, New Zealand or the African s avannah, to be the greatest slave-traders but the first to abolis h the trade, to use astonishing violence against their opponents but also claim to uphold the rule of law. By exploring the varyin g patterns of conquest, the ferocious rebellions, the urge to con vert as well as to rule, the quarrels and conflicts between missi onaries, farmers and merchants, and the sudden descent towards th e Empire's final collapse, Unfinished Empire presents a surprisin g, original and often critical account of an extraordinary phenom enon.
