The British Empire in the Middle East, 1945-1951: Arab Nationalism, the United States, and Postwar Imperialism
ISBN: 9780198229605 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 820 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a far-reaching study of how Britain's postwar Labour government attempted to sustain a vision of Britain as a world power. Committed to the liquidation of the old British Empire, the government sought to develop new relationships in the Middle East as a replacement for India, hoping to halt the decline of the Empire by putting it on a new basis. Caught between the forces of anti-British nationalism and American anti-colonialism, the attempt was ultimately destined to fail; but it marks a crucial phase in the story of British imperialism and of Middle Eastern history.

Imperialism at Bay: The United States and the Decolonization of the British Empire, 1941-1945
ISBN: 9780198229728 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 595 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the wartime controversies between Britain and America about the future of the colonial world, and considers the ethical, military, and economic forces behind imperialism during World War II. It concludes that, for Britain, there was a revival of the sense of colonial mission; the Americans, on the other hand, felt justified in creating a strategic fortress in the Pacific Islands while carrying the torch of "international trusteeship" throughout the rest of the world--a scheme that Churchill and others viewed as a cloak for American expansion.
