Kwasi Kwarteng, son of parents shaped by the British Empire, offers a unique perspective on its history. This narrative avoids judgment, presenting the Empire as a series of administrations, varying in competence and brutality. Kwarteng reveals that imperial administration lacked a single model, instead relying on individual improvisation and eccentricity.
The book highlights how the idiosyncrasies of colonial administrators continue to influence regions from Kashmir to Sudan, and Baghdad to Hong Kong. It explores the often chaotic nature of imperial expansion driven by individual actions rather than a grand design.
