Hailey - A Study in British Imperialism, 1872-1969 (Hardcover, New)

William Malcolm Hailey (1872-1969) was, by common consent, the most distinguished member of the Indian Civil Service in the 20th century, and one of the few raised to the peerage (1936). Going out to India in 1894, he served as the first chief commissioner of Delhi (1912-18), as Finance and then Home Member of the Viceroy's Council (1919-24), and then as Governor of the Pubjab (1924-28) and the United Provences (1928-34). As advisor to five viceroys, he was one of the most intelligent developers of the British strategy in response to the challenge of Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. After leaving India he had what amounted to a second career in relation to Africa, during which he directed two editions of the African Survey (1938, 1956), wrote two important reports on British colonial administration, and served as an advisor to the Colonial Office.
