Provides outline accounts of the end of the British Empire in India and Africa, assessing the socio-political ramifications of this process. The author places the Indian story in the wider context of political changes in Asia, and examines the political debacles of post-independence Africa.

Synopsis:

The middle decades of the twentieth century witnessed the great dramas of the ending of Western imperial rule in Africa and Asia. A series of nationalist onslaughts was launched against the British Empire and these greatly reshaped the modern world. Professor Anthony Low has studied the end of the British Empire and its aftermath for many years. This volume brings together for the first time many of his major essays on the subject.
