Britannia's Shield: Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Hutton and Late-Victorian Imperial Defence ( Australian Army History Series)
by Craig StockingsBritannia's Shield: Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Hutton and the Late-Victorian Imperial Defence presents an in-depth, international study of imperial land defence prior to 1914. The book makes sense of the failures, false starts and successes that eventually led to more than 850 000 men being despatched from the Dominions to buttress Britain's Great War effort – an enormous achievement for intra-empire military cooperation. Craig Stockings presents a vivid portrayal of this complex process as it unfolded throughout the late-Victorian Empire through a biographical study of Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Hutton. As a true soldier of the Empire, the difficulties and dramas that followed Hutton's career at every step – from Cairo to Sydney, Aldershot to Ottawa, and Pretoria to Melbourne – provide key insights into imperial defence and security planning between 1880 and 1914. Richly illustrated, Britannia's Shield is an engaging and entertaining work of rigorous scholarship that will appeal to both general readers and academic researchers. The first study of imperial land defence of the British Empire prior to World War One. The first biographical study of a key late-Victorian imperial figure in Sir Edward Hutton. A truly international study using archives and sources from Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
British Imperialism, 1688-2000 (second edition)
by A. G. Hopkins P. J. CainA milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, this important book radically reinterprets the course of modern economic development and the causes of overseas expansion during the past three centuries. Employing their concept of 'gentlemanly capitalism', the authors draw imperial and domestic British history together to show how the shape of the nation and its economy depended on international and imperial ties, and how these ties were undone to produce the postcolonial world of today. BRITISH IMPERIALISM has received numerous accolades from scholars and the wider reading public, and is winner of the American Historical Association's prestigious Forkosch Prize. This second edition, issued for the first time in a single volume, has two substantial new chapters; a Foreword assesses the development of the debate since the book's original publication; an Afterword discusses the imperial era in the context of the current controversy over globalization, and shows how the study of the age of empires remains relevant to understanding the postcolonial world.
