The collapse of Western colonial empires after the Second World War led to any number of vicious struggles for power whose bloody consequences haunt us still.Acclaimed historian Michael Burleigh´s brilliant analytic skills and clear eye for common themes underpins this powerful account of those struggles.He takes us on a historical journey from Palestine to Pakistan, from Cuba to Indo-China and reframes mid-20th century history by forcing us to look away from the Cold War to the hot wars that continue to afflict us.The result is a dazzling work of history, which examines the death of colonialism with passion, insight and genuine understanding of what it feels like to be caught in the middle of realpolitik.
