Edward Ingram

Recenzje

This is the third volume in Ingram's sustained and wise inquiry, and it as worthy of praise as its predecessors...provides...the richest, mostly widely researched, and intellectually elegant statement about the place of India in British foreign policy...his style, which while clear and compelling, requires close attention to nuance. Theresult is a series of books...which not only demand the attention of imperial and area studies specialists but indeed of any scholar who is attempting to understand just what a genuinely "international history" may be.
