an empire, but the project of an empire'' and John Darwin offers a
magisterial global history of the rise and fall of that great
imperial project. The British Empire, he argues, was much more than
a group of colonies ruled over by a scattering of British
expatriates until eventual independence. It was, above all, a
global phenomenon. Its power derived rather less from the assertion
of imperial authority than from the fusing together of three
different kinds of empire: the settler empire of the ''white
dominions''; the commercial empire of the City of London; and
''Greater India'' which contributed markets, manpower and military
muscle. This unprecedented history charts how this intricate
imperial web was first strengthened, then weakened and finally
severed on the rollercoaster of global economic, political and
geostrategic upheaval on which it rode from beginning to end.
