Ruling the World argued that governance of the British Empire should be examined everywhere & all at once. For example, the decision to make the East India Company sovereign and the Act Abolishing slavery in the Caribbean are usually examined in isolation, but they were directly connected:
This long-delayed review of my Ruling the World: Freedom, Civilisation and Liberalism in the Nineteenth-Century British Empire was published in the summer. Thank you, Alex Middleton:

New episode of @WindofChangePod! We tackle the outbreak of the "Indian Mutiny" - what happened at Meerut, how did it lead to a massacre, and why did *this* mutiny spark a widespread uprising.

#OnThisDay in 1935 Italian forces invaded Ethiopia.
The links between fascism and imperialism were not lost on the British left nor by the #BritishEmpire’s black subjects.

Re-read parts of this book again -- and realised how much I had actually enjoyed writing this one. Liberals are generally boring figures; their lives are as staid as their politics. So their biographers are cursed. But still somehow, Sastri was pleasantly fun to write about.
Yesterday I spoke with the fantastic Vineet Thakur (@vineet1232) about the life and times of VS Srinivasa Sastri - liberal politician, follower of GK Gokhale, friend and rival of Gandhi, international critic of Jan Smuts, and India's representative to the world.

I got a sneak peak at this at the talk in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. One of many moments there was a chorus of intrigued "Ooooooh"s - and I was one of them!
