Britain and Empire in the 20th Century with David Edgerton

Published: June 9, 2019, 2 a.m.

David Edgerton attacks outdated views of the British nation and the British Empire during the 20th century with his new book. He revitalises discussion about declinist views of empire, and challenges the idea that the new British nation was forged in World War Two by Britain's isolation.
