Originally published in two volumes 1993.
Makes a case for the role of 'gentlemen capitalists' as one of the prime motivators for Britain's imperial expansion. While the tendency for many books on the British Empire is to focus on the pre-1914 heyday, this book covers in considerable detail events in the twentieth century since the First World War, a period in which Britain withdrew from empire and found a new global role.
