From Pulitzer Prize-winning historian: a searing study of the British Empire that probes the countrys pervasive use of violence throughout the twentieth century and traces how these practices were exported, modified, and institutionalized in colonies around the globeSprawling across a quarter of the worlds land mass and claiming nearly seven hundred million people, Britains twentieth-century empire was the largest empire in human history. For many Britons, it epitomized their nations cultural superiority, but what legacy did the island nation deliver to the world? Covering more than two hundred years of history, Caroline Elkins reveals an evolutionary and racialized doctrine that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve the nations imperial interests. She outlines how ideological foundations of violence were rooted in the Victorian era calls for punishing recalcitrant natives, and how over time, its forms became increasingly systematized. And she makes clear that when Britain could no longer maintain control over the violence it provoked and enacted, it retreated from empire, destroying and hiding incriminating evidence of its policies and practices.Drawing on more than a decade of research on four continents, Legacy of Violence implicates all sides of Britains political divide in the creation, execution, and cover-up of imperial violence. By demonstrating how and why violence was the most salient factor underwriting Britains empire and the nations imperial identity at home, Elkins upends long-held myths and sheds new light on empires role in shaping the world today. Review “Sweeping and detailed . . . With its enormous breadth and ambition, [Legacy of Violence] amounts to something approaching a one-volume history of imperial Britain’s use of force, torture, and deceit around the world. . . . Assembling so many examples spread widely across space and time allows Elkins to build an impressively damning account of the British Empire.”-Howard W. French, The Nation“A scathing indictment . . . [A] tour de force of historical excavation . . . Offering numerous correctives to Whitewashed history, the author mounts potent attacks against the egregious actions of vaunted figures. . . . [Legacy of Violence is] top-shelf history offering tremendous acknowledgement of past systemic abuses.”-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“[Elkins’] detailed description of British policy and actions in Ireland, India, Malaya, Cyprus, Kenya, Nyasaland, Jamaica, and Palestine makes for unsettling, yet necessary reading. . . . Thoroughly researched and presented in scrupulous detail, this tale of legalized violence, founded on a racism not even thinly disguised, is a must-read for serious students of history.”-David Keymer, Library Journal (starred review)“[Elkins] returns to a much larger canvas in her provocative new book . . . A colorful account.”-Geoffrey Wheatcroft, The New York Times Book Review“Deeply researched . . . Legacy of Violence does not stint on detail. . . . Yet Elkins wears her considerable learning lightly, and is wise enough to allow her considerable anger to smoulder, rather than burn from the pages, making for a powerful, compelling read. . . . The book opens up ground for a wider debate on the factors that shaped the three centuries of British global empire.”-Rana Mitter, Financial Times“Shocking, meticulous detail . . . Persuasive . . . Legacy of Violence is a formidable piece of research that sets itself the ambition of identifying the character of British power over the course of two centuries and four continents. . . . In many ways, of course, this long history could not be more timely. Elkins offers an open and shut case for those who believe that Rhodes must fall. Her book should, you hope, also find its way into the hands of at least some of that 60% of [the United Kingdom] who, when polled in 2014, thought the British empire was, in general, ‘something
