Mapping the End of Empire - American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World

About the author

Aiyaz Husain is a historian in the Policy Studies Division of the Office of the Historian at the U.S. Department of State.

Summary

By 1945 Washington and London envisioned a new era in which the U.S. shouldered global responsibilities while Britain focused its regional interests narrowly. Mapping the End of Empire reveals how Anglo–American perceptions of geography and perspectives on the Muslim world shaped postcolonial futures from the Middle East to South Asia.
