From the height of 'New Imperialism' until the Second World War,
three generations of heroes of the British and French empires in
Africa were selected, manufactured and packaged for consumption by
a metropolitan public eager to discover new horizons and to find
comfort in the concept of a 'civilising mission'. This book looks
at imperial heroism by examining the legends of a dozen major
colonial figures on both sides of the Channel, revisiting the
familiar stories of Livingstone, Gordon and Kitchener from a
radically new angle, and throwing light on their French
counterparts, often less famous in the Anglophone world but
certainly equally fascinating. -- .
