It's no secret that Britain achieved its empire through forceful, and often brutal, methods. Many nations are still grappling with the dark legacy of colonisation. Des Ekin lays out some of the worst atrocities perpetrated by the British and explores the justifications used for such violent actions.
The Bloody History of British ColonisationFor centuries, a small island nation cast a shadow across the world. The British Empires methods of expansion were often brutal, usually devastating. From Amritsar to Zululand, from the Opium Wars in China to the deliberate infection of Native Americans with smallpox and the cold-blooded treatment of the starving during the Irish Famine, Des Ekin lays bare the atrocities committed in the name of colonisation.With many nations worldwide still grappling with the legacy of British rule, Ekin explores the justifications used to dehumanise other people and rationalise their abuse, exploitation and slaughter. In this rigorously researched and eminently readable book, Des Ekin lifts the veil on the harrowing realities of colonial rule.
