Mr Nicholson, as a former politician with a sound academic background (vide the Leo Amery diaries} brings a uniformly mature and balanced perspective to this highly controversial subject. His various counter factuals (what if?) are particularly fascinating, and I learnt much from his chapters on Tariff Reform (the vital nuances of which I was hitherto ignorant) . All in all, a most valuable contribution to the continuing Imperial debate, so often marred by risible tendentiousness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Read Too! *by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2017* This book gives one enjoyably to think, and often to think anew. Its analysis of determining events in our national history (the ‘turning points’) is trenchant. Its comments on the influencing and directing those events are shrewd. Its discussion of the ‘what ifs’, and indeed of the ‘why nots’, is challenging. The author, a former successful MP, and a considerable political historian, has evidently pursued such careful and devoted study of the events and the people that one feels he has his own Tardis, was there, and knew the protagonists well. A scrupulously footnoted work, it is clear that he is also both scholar and gentleman. The illumination he provides of the ‘turning points’ frequently offers new insights. He implicitly asks the reader to reconsider long-held assumptions about why we are where we are as a nation, and how our national interests have really been pursued, and whether we could have done better. Indeed, there is some new thought about underlying political, party-political and even personal agendas influencing those pursuits. The compass of the book is remarkable. One of many examples concerns the Balfour Declaration, the centenary of whose 67 words we are commemorating. The fresh examination of the imbroglio that genuine effort to help has created is important. And then there’s Africa……!The reader is not pressed to accept all the interesting conclusions or speculations, but is certainly stimulated by the suggestions of how we might have done better as a country with vital interests abroad to protect and to advance those interests: to advance not only national but also international and unselfish interests. As another example, we are bound by the author’s argument to consider how we might now have been in a very different and more advantageous position vis à vis the EU, on several reasonable assumptions: this despite our history of ‘one foot in and one foot out’ of Europe.A refreshing, impressive, even provocative on occasion, and illuminating book – and a good read to boot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/203565490-crisis-of-the-british-empire-turning-points-after-1880](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/203565490-crisis-of-the-british-empire-turning-points-after-1880) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
