The Lion's Share by Bernard Porter, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Updated to incorporate a new epilogue considering the impact of Brexit on British Imperial History, the sixth edition ofThe Lion&s Shareremains an essential introduction to British imperialism from its Victorian heyday to the present. This book presents a lively narrative of events and explores a number of broad analytical themes, challenging more conventional and popular interpretations of British imperialism. Bernard Porter sees imperialism as a symptom not of Britain's strength in the world, but of her decline, and he argues that the empire itself both aggravated and obscured deep-seated malaise in the British economy. This sixth edition includes a final epilogue that engages with what Brexit means for British Imperial History, and whether it represents an extension of or final conclusion to Britain&s Imperial Career. In so doing, the book offers students a thorough grounding of British Imperialism that extends right up to the present day. Supported by maps, images and an updated chronology, The Lion&s Shareis the perfect resource for students of British and Imperial History from the Victorian era to the modern day. | The Lion's Share by Bernard Porter, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
