Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire

byCaroline Elkins

Caroline Elkins' Legacy of Violence investigates the history of the british empire, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, Legacy of Violence moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Legacy of Violence within history and political science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the history of the british empire continues to shape the present.
