About this listen

Famed historian and author of the groundbreaking "The Case for Colonialism" demonstrates that, contrary to modern presuppositions, German colonialism from its early roots to the mid-twentieth century was overall a force for good in the world where development was encouraged and native governance flourished.

Historian and university professor, Bruce Gilley, delves into the history of German colonialism from its earliest roots through the 20th century, demonstrating that contrary to modern presuppositions, it served as a global force for good—elevating the lives of its subjects and encouraging scientific development while allowing native cultures to flourish within its governance.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The other side...

Almost nothing is solely good or bad, but the prevailing intellectual climate in the UK admits of no benefits of colonialism to the colonised. This book offers some balance. Overall, it is well argued, albeit with a few stretches here and there.

Essential

A scholarly work as much a criticism of the current work activist of colonial studies as it is a review of the Spirt of Berlin.
