Opis

Was the British empire given away in a fit of collective indifference? This work looks at connections between stories of empire told in the media - the Second World War, the Coronation and Everest, colonial wars of the 1950s, immigration, Winston Churchill's funeral - and contributes to debates about the domestic consequences of the end of empire.

...an impressive book, valuable for its exhaustive and multifaceted use of sources and for the author's sophisticated perceptions of cultural change and its impact.
