A must for scholars of British history, the Cold War, and 20th-century international relations, this work from Gale makes available 500,000 pages of previously classified information on the British Empire. Materials come from the UK Ministry of Defence, MI5, the Cabinet Office, and more, and collectively offer a rich and detailed history, spanning 1905 to 2002. Impeccable organization and robust search functions only add to the resource’s utility.
