      About This Book

      End of Empire is a gripping narrative of events in Asia (India, Pakistan and Malaysia), the Middle East, and Africa (the Gold Coast, Kenya, Rhodesia): from Pax Britannica to independence. In addition to memoirs and histories, the book calls upon the living memories of former colonial secretaries, ministers, senior officials, politicians and nationalist leaders. In the vivid portraits that emerge--Churchill, Gandhi, Eden, Mountbatten--the death of an empire and the birth of new nations in its place are traced with rare thoroughness and flair.
