The Second British Empire - Trade, Philanthropy, and Good Government, 1820-1890

?Halstead argues that the imperialism of Britain is best understood when viewed as an auxiliary of foreign policy'.... After developing his thesis, Halstead illustrates it with eight Asian and African case studies, in each case determining the moment when Britain established paramountcy.... Each case demonstrates a special combination of some or all of the three motives for expansion of control. The book is a graduate student's delight: succinct summaries of major interpretations of imperialism, lucid argument, brief case-study summaries, and extremely useful annotated bibliography. It should be in all university libraries and it will also be useful to advanced undergraduates.?-Choice
