An important work on the last stages of the British empire that
uses the focus of a single career to ask important questions about
standard accounts. A powerful work of revisionism.--Jeremy Black,
author of Imperal Legacies
With a sensitive and compelling biography of Burns, The Last
Imperialist shows how individual lives shaped the experience of
colonialism in the mid-twentieth century as the British Empire
ended and nation-states emerged. The book brings complexity and
nuance back into a historiography increasingly ruled by
one-dimensional partisan narratives.--Tirthankar Roy, London School
of Economics
