  • The End of the British Empire in the Middle East, 1952—1971

    Wm Roger LouisBOOKEnd of the British Empire in the…2025

    In the 1950s it seemed to the world at large that the British Empire was in a state of terminal decline, not least after the catastrophic setback of the Suez crisis in October 1956. The British, along with the French and Israelis, launched a futile attack on Egypt in response to Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal Company. The phrase ‘Suez crisis’ became a byword for illusion and self-deception. The British increasingly believe…

  • Monarchy and the End of Empire

    Open AccessWm Roger LouisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    In an imaginary conversation in Private Eye in 1986, Mrs. Thatcher says of her relationship with the Queen: ‘There’s no disagreement between us’. To which the Queen responds, ‘We just hate each other’s guts’. The mock exchange probably came close to the mark. Three years previously, the Queen had commanded the Prime Minister to come immediately to the palace to explain the American occupation of Grenada. The far-fetched military purpose was to pr…

  • Raymond Carr

    Open AccessWm Roger LouisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    The Spanish historian María Jesús González Hernández assesses the life of Raymond Carr not only as an historian of Spain but also as a figure in Oxford’s intellectual and social life. Carr’s major works include Spain, 1808–1939, which was published in 1966 in the Oxford History of Modern Europe series (rev. ante, lxxxii [1967], 580–85). In González Hernández’s judgement, he single-handedly managed to transform the history of an entire country. It…

  • Army, Empire, and Cold War

    Open AccessWm Roger LouisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2013

    Until now, one of the critical missing parts of post-1945 history has been an up-to-date and substantial account of the British Army, based on how the Army viewed itself, as well as how critics assessed it. David French comprehensively fills this gap with command of detail and a balanced treatment of what he describes as a ‘military dinosaur’. This book should, however, be read hand in hand with the same author’s The British Way in Counter-Insurg…

  • Empires of Intelligence

    Wm Roger LouisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2010

    Authors of historical monographs, attention! In the wake of the technology revolution, publishers now have no justification to insist on grounds of economy that references must be placed at the end of the book. Yet Empires of Intelligence implicitly presents a rationale for notes to find their proper place in the final part of a volume, almost as if in the form of a crescendo: the references and bibliography, which here occupy well over 100 pages…

  • Lion of Jordan

    Wm Roger LouisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009Citada por: 3

    Avi Shlaim's thought and writing is always characterised by a fascination with conspiracy. Lion of Jordan may be read as a straightforward and lucid account of Hussein's life and times, but it is also a complex work that can be understood at different levels, not least of which is collusion between the king and the Israelis. Always reluctant to resist a play on words, Shlaim originally had in mind a more compelling title for the book, ‘The King a…

  • Ends of British Imperialism

    William Roger Louis, Wm Roger LouisBOOKEnds of British imperialism2006

    This is a major work of imperial history, by (in the words of A.J.P. Taylor) 'the foremost historian of the British Empire and Commonwealth in his generation'. Britannica to Pax Americana is the story of the British Empire from its late-nineteenth century flowering to its present extinction. Louis traces the British Empire from the scramble for Africa - itself the mirror-image of what was to become decolonization - through the Mandates system of …
