520    "For the first time in millennia we live without formal 
       empires. But that doesn't mean we don't feel their 
       presence rumbling through history. From Russia's 
       incursions in the Ukraine to Brexit; from Trump's America-
       First policy to China's forays into Africa; from Modi's 
       India to the hotbed of the Middle East, Samir Puri 
       provides a bold new framework for understanding the 
       world's complex rivalries and politics. Organized by 
       region, and covering vital topics such as security, 
       foreign policy, national politics and commerce, The 
       Shadows of Empire combines history and analysis to explain
       why the history of empire affects us all in profound ways;
       it is also a plea for greater awareness, both as 
       individuals and as nations, of how our varied imperial 
       pasts have contributed to why we see the world in such 
       different ways"--Book jacket flap.
