The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. In this new volume on the last century of empire there are chapters on imperial centres, on the geographical `periphery' of empire, and on all its connecting mechanisms, including institutions and the flow of people, money, goods, and services. The volume also explores the experience of
`imperial subjects' in terms of culture, politics, and economics; an experience which culminated in the growth of vibrant, often new, national identities and movements and, ultimately, new nation-states. It concludes with the processes of decolonization which reshaped the political map of the late twentieth-century
world.

Nicholas J. White, The Economic Hist. Rev., Vol.LIII, No.4, Nov.2000. 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.


David Gilmour, FT Weekend 19/2/00 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.


Bernard Porter, TLS 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
