The Commonwealth's Way of Ruling Review
The review discusses Nicholas Mansergh’s history of the Commonwealth experience from Cambridge, distinguishing it from Empire history. It notes three sections on founding dominions, the British Commonwealth from 1916 to 1947, and post 1947 events, with emphasis on India, Rhodesia, South Africa, and Britain’s imperial policy. The work highlights independence paths, governance ideas, and the evolving Commonwealth through colonies in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
