VIII
The story of the British Empire in the twentieth century is one
of decline, disarray, and despondency. Or so we have been told.
In this fresh and controversial account of Britain s end of empire,
Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon rejects that consensus, revealing instead
a careful policy of imperial devolution aimed at maintaining
Western influence.
To achieve its liberal imperialist aims, the British government had
to rely upon the use of illiberal dirty wars. Spanning the globe from
Palestine to Malaya, and Kenya to Cyprus, these wars represented
Britain s true imperial endgame.
Benjamin
Groë-FJtzgibbon
is Assistant Professor of History and
Cleveland
С
Burton Professor of International Programs at the
University of Arkansas. His previous works include The Irish
Experience during the Second Wortd War and Turning Points of
the Irish Revolution.
