British introspection on Empire' s end in Asia

Since its first release several months ago, the 673-page Forgotten Wars: The End of Britain's Asian Empire (London, Penguin/Allen Lane, 2007), authored by world-renowned Cambridge historians Christopher Bayly and Tim Harper, has been reviewed by major newspapers in Britain, such as Telegraph and Guardian. There are certainly more reviews of the book in other media in Britain and other parts of the world like Asian Review of Books.

Forgotten Wars: The End of Britain's Asian Empire is a sequel to Forgotten Armies: The Fall of British Asia, 1941-1945 (London, Penguin/Allen Lane, 2004) which is now available in paperback.
