Onward empire,
By Scholasticus (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empires (Cornell Studies in Comparative History) (Paperback)
Nice work. I used some of its insights in my own _Iraq 2003: Causes and Consequences of an Imperial Expedition_ (Editions Tour Blanche, 2007), and my _A History of the British Conquest of Afghanistan and Western India, 1838-49_ (Lewiston, NY: The Edwin Mellen Press, 2009).

2.0 out of 5 stars
Its pretty ordinary,
By BernardZ (Melbourne, vic Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empires (Cornell Studies in Comparative History) (Paperback)
It started off pretty good with some interesting examples but then I found it pretty ordinary. Their is little I found particular interesting or new in what the writer had to say. I certainly do not feel that I have learnt a great deal about this subject since reading this book
