Description
A searing study of the British Empire's use of violence throughout the twentieth century, Legacy of Violence reveals the dark heart of Britain's Empire. Drawing on over a decade of research on four continents, Caroline Elkins exposes the racialised, systemised doctrine of unrelenting violence that Britain used to secure and maintain its interests globally. This monumental achievement explodes long-held myths and sheds new light on the role of empire in shaping the world today.
