Britain's famous overseas civil services - the Colonial
Administrative Service, the Indian Civil Service and the Sudan
Political Service - no longer exist as a major and sought-after
career for Britain's graduates. In this detailed study the history
of each service is presented within the framework of the need to
administer an expanding empire. Close attention is paid to the
methods of recruitment and training and to the socio-educational
background of the overseas administrators as well as to the nature
of their work. The prestigious incumbents of Government House are
revealingly examined. The impact of decolonisation on overseas
officials and the kinds of 'second careers' which they took up are
documented. This authoritative narrative history is enlivened by
recourse to Service lore and anecdotes.
