Title: India
Description: "Originally published in 1931, this book was intended by Churchill to contest the India Bill, over which he had broken with his party leadership. Churchill and his "die-hard" imperialist allies believed that the bill in question, which granted modest reforms as to the autonomy and government of India, would lead to the permanent loss of India from the British Empire. Though Churchill failed in his campaign to prevent the bill from passing, this collection of speeches demonstrates Churchill's imperial rhetoric at its peak and offers intriguing insights into contemporary imperialism."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
