Official synopsis Publisher
Imperial Atrocities: Skeletons in Colonial Closets does not expose the total colonial story, but this eye-opening book does present a selection of some of the worst excesses perpetrated by Colonials throughout the world. In two cases, those of Ireland and India, native populations were allowed to starve. Their Colonial masters did nothing to either assist or provide food that was available. Colonial empires dominated the globe for just over 200 years, from about 1750 to 1960. The settings span various parts of Africa, the Middle East, India, and Asia. In these locales, native peoples were starved, exploited, or ignored, as the Empires were allowed to rule totally unchallenged. Says the author, “I lived in West Africa for six years, from 1958 to 1964, and then in Malaysia for the next sixteen years. Whilst in Malaysia, my job involved much travelling throughout Asia, and this book is the culmination of experiences and observations during those years. Everything that I have written about is documented fact.”
