Two views of the British Empire: book reviews

Dr. William Jackson (University of Leeds) reviews two recent books on the British Empire in the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History 


The books are

  • Britain's Empire: resistance, repression and revolt, by Richard Gott
  • Empire: what ruling the world did to the British, by Jeremy Paxman
You can read Richard Gott's response to the article and check out Britain's Empire yourself  at A325.341 / 735278


Jeremy Paxman's book is on order by the Library, but meanwhile you can also read the Guardian's opinion on his accompanying TV series
