Touches on a lot of the struggles against British imperialism from the late 1700s in the Caribbean to the 1950s in Africa.
I felt it gave me snapshots of the bigger picture that are helpful in trying to go dig deeper for each of these uprisings.
There is plenty I don't know about the British political scene, but I do appreciate him pointing out that it really didn't matter which party was in office, they both were responsible for defending the Empire and propagating these tragedies.

an interesting look into the conflicts between the british empire and the people living within it. there were a lot if great sources and interpretations used here however it was impossible not to notice the author's dislike for 'new labour' and because of this the labour party is held to a higher moral expectation than other parties, something which doesn't seem entirely fair when all parties were at points hypocritical and committed atrocities with the empire.
