megnut 's review for:
The Blood Never Dried: A People's History of the British Empire
by John Newsinger
challenging
dark
informative
medium-paced
Touches on a lot of the struggles against British imperialism from the late 1700s in the Caribbean to the 1950s in Africa.
I felt it gave me snapshots of the bigger picture that are helpful in trying to go dig deeper for each of these uprisings.
There is plenty I don't know about the British political scene, but I do appreciate him pointing out that it really didn't matter which party was in office, they both were responsible for defending the Empire and propagating these tragedies.
