Ghosts of Empire: Britain&Apos;S Legacies in the Modern World
London, Bloomsbury, 2011. First edition. Cloth. Kwasi Kwarteng considers the reverberations of the British Empire in this first edition. A fine copy A fine copy of Kwasi Kwarteng's monograph on the British Empire, found in the original unclipped dust wrapper. With chapters on Iraq, Kashmir, Burma, Sudan, Nigeria, and Hong Kong, Kwarteng discusses how the continuing reverberations of the British Empire, and how the legacies of the empire have haunted these nations through war. Through his analysis of the oversights, accidents, and uncertain pragmatism that led to the decline of the empire, Kwarteng argues that the British Empire was not formed by a coherent policy. Kwarteng served as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Liz Truss for thirty eight days in 2022 before he was dismissed after his mini-budget caused sterling to drop. He is the MP for Spelthorne in northern Surrey, and has a PhD in History from Cambridge. In the publisher's original red cloth binding, in its unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, lovely. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages throughout. As New . Ill.: Not stated. As New/Fine.
