Kwarteng K., Ghosts of Empire. Britain s Legacies in the Modern World — 2012
The British Empire was the creation of a tremendous outpouring of energy and opportunism, when the British were at their most self-confident, and the wealth they gathered was prodigious. At its heart lay a sense of the rectitude of the British way of life, meted out to vast swathes of the rest of the world without let or hindrance. Yet, as this book shows, the empire was not formed by coherent policy, and its decline reflected this: its later years were characterised by a series of accidental oversights, decisions taken without due consideration for the consequences, and uncertain pragmatism. Many of the world's trouble spots are those left behind by the chaotic retreat of empire, and its ghosts continue to haunt today's international scene. The problems the empire encountered have still not been resolved and in Iraq, Kashmir, Burma, Sudan, Nigeria and Hong Kong new difficulties have arisen which continue to baffle politicians and diplomats. This powerful new book addresses the realities of the British Empire from its inception to its demise, questioning the nature of its glory and cataloguing both the inadequacies of its ideals and the short-termism of its actions

Thomson D., Ingland in the Twentieth Century (1914-63) — 1979 (The Pelican History of England)
Fifty years have provided two wars, countless revolutions, a world slump, the rise and fall of the dictators, and scientific and technical advances on an unprecedented scale. During this time England has become more fully a democracy, has pioneered the concept of the Welfare State, and laid the foundations of a multi-racial Commonwealth. In this volume of the Pelican History of England the late Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, has not only managed to stand back from the times: he has also accomplished an extraordinary feat of compression and, in describing an age of revolution, underlined the significance of continuity.
