Age of Emergency: Living with Violence at the End of the British Empire - Erik Linstrum

When uprisings against colonial rule broke out across the world after 1945, Britain responded with overwhelming and brutal force. Although this period has conventionally been dubbed “postwar,” it was punctuated by a succession of hard-fought, long-running conflicts that were geographically diffuse, morally ambiguous, and impervious to neat endings or declarations of victory.
Age of Emergency traces facts and feelings about violence as torture, summary executions, collective punishments, and other ruthless methods were employed in “states of emergency.” It examines how Britons at home learned to live with colonial warfare by examining activist campaigns, soldiers’ letters, missionary networks, newspaper stories, television dramas, sermons, novels, and plays. Some contemporaries cast doubt on facts about violence. Still others aestheticized violence by celebrating visions of racial struggle or dramatizing the grim fatalism of dirty wars. Through their voices, Erik Linstrum narrates what violence looked, heard, and felt like as an empire ended, a history with unsettling echoes in our own time.
Vividly analyzing how far-off atrocities became domestic problems, Age of Emergency shows that the compromising entanglements of war extended far beyond the conflict zones of empire.

Slaughter ‘em all & drink tea, wot wot! The bally ol’ empire fought to free the ungrateful world from brutal torture, summary executions, collective punishments, slavery, genocide, concentration camps - uh, wait a second…
“Some contemporaries cast doubt on facts about violence” - Glad that phenomenon has been definitively relegated to the distant past.
“Still others aestheticized violence” - Now, that sounds like some sick shyte.

mp, you truly are a star.
obviously sacrificing a real job to do what you do here everyday, still how do you have the time to find so many essential ways to denigrate western nations and culture.
How do you find so many books with authors willing to ignore facts and realities for the noble goal of pushing a narrative that truly HELPS people everywhere see the world, not as it is but how it should be seen according to these wonderful writers (we can assume you also).
I truly don’t know what we hear at the audiobook bay would do without your essential truths and wisdom being shared everyday on almost any topic imaginable while all staying true to a singular agenda.
Like I have said before, you truly are something else, something truly special and we simply cannot thank you enough. Please keep up the good work knowing how much we ALL appreciate you AND the lengths you clearly go through

Yup, great history uploader.
@superclive - Given that you have a clear interest in the subject area, you’ve probably encountered this lecture course, but if not: https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/the-great-courses-rise-and-fall-of-the-british-empire-patrick-n-allitt-phd/
Quite excellent, great professor, 36 lectures, uploaded by ihophats.
Learn all about: “Orde Wingate, the British general whose achievements in the Ethiopian campaign & in the Zionist guerrilla war against the Arab revolt in Palestine could never obscure his personal eccentricities. One of those was a proclivity to wander about naked, often with a raw onion suspended around his neck, from which he would take hearty bites while inspecting his troop.”
(While I was perusing that, I confess to some trepidation as to where the onion would fetch up.)

superclive, Empires in general or the British empire specifically?

Every country has committed heinous atrocities, no one race is any above or below any other in what they are capable of.
