Roger Louis, Kerr Professor of English History and Culture, University of Texas at Austin. Inscription written and signed on the first page – the former owner told me that it was signed ‘Roger’ by the author – I have not been able to authenticate the signature – see photo for signature. Clarendon Press, Oxford - ©1984, paperback edition 1985 – ISBN 0-19-822960-7 – 803 pages – the book measures approximately 6 ¼ x 9 ¼. This is a far-reaching study of how Britain's postwar Labour government attempted to sustain a vision of Britain as a world power. Committed to the liquidation of the old British Empire, the government sought to develop new relationships in the Middle East as a replacement for India, hoping to halt the decline of the Empire by putting it on a new basis. Caught between the forces of anti-British nationalism and American anti-colonialism, the attempt was ultimately destined to fail; but it marks a crucial phase in the story of British imperialism and of Middle Eastern history. The book is in good condition; normal reading wear; binding intact, no loose or torn pages; pages unmarked – no writing, no underlining, no highlighting; pages and covers are age discolored; cover and spine edges rubbed/chipped; normal shelf wear.
