520 |a Timothy Parsons has written an important and impassioned study of the twentieth-century British Empire that provides fresh and powerful evidence of its exploitative character and the resistance it provoked among subject peoples. Comprehensive in its coverage, compelling in its analysis, and unflaggingly readable, this is a book that students and specialists will find equally rewarding. -- Dane Kennedy, George Washington University Writing with his characteristic verve, Timothy Parsons has produced a thorough and decisive history of Britain's Empire in the twentieth century that shows the impact of imperial expansion both on the colonies and on Britain itself. Ranging from music to politics, from food to slum dwellings, from economics to migration, Parsons shows both the limits of British power and the considerable material effects it wrought throughout the world. Critical, intelligent, and far-reaching, The Second British Empire is a welcome and important addition to a growing literature on the final decades of British imperial rule. -- Philippa Levine, University of Texas at Austin.
