The Oxford History of the British Empire: Volume IV: The Twentieth Century by Judith Brown

An assessment of the British Empire in the light of the progressive opening of historical records, this twentieth-century volume helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history.

Impressive.. a neat balance of thematic and area-specific chapters, all of which are exceptionally well written ... will serve as a vital work of reference for any library concerned with the history of the empire. * Nicholas J. White, The Economic Hist. Rev., Vol.LIII, No.4, Nov.2000. *
impressive ... the overall achievement is undeniably impressive. Under the magisterial guidance of Louis ... a vast array of historians has produced a solid monument of contemporary scholarship. * David Gilmour, FT Weekend 19/2/00 *
this chapter [The Nineteenth Century] is infinitely more enlightening then anything to be found in the Cambridge Volumes. * Bernard Porter, TLS *
These final three volumes should be compulsory reading for anyone with an interest in the subject * Bernard Porter, TLS *

Roger Louis is also the editor-in-chief of the whole series
