Atlantic Books The Great Imperial Hangover: How Empires Have Shaped the World

This book offers the reader a whistle-stop tour of many of the biggest issues the world is tussling with today. Offering an historical overview of them, and the influence of empires in those histories.The author not only demonstrates that many of these issues have their roots in the empires of the past but also that the ways in which the peoples of the world are attempting to deal with these same issues are often heavily influenced by imperial legacies and mindsets as well.

The book arrived bent and as it is a gift it was not acceptable. Had to return for a hopefully replacement.
