This book throws new light on the impact of informal 'old boy'
networks on British decolonisation. Duncan Sandys was one of the
leading Conservative politicians of the middle decades of
twentieth-century Britain. He was also a key figure in the Harold
Macmillan's 'Winds of Change' policy of decolonisation, serving as
Secretary for the Colonies and Commonwealth Relations from 1960 to
1964. When he lost office he fought strenuously to undermine the
new Labour Government's attempts to accelerate colonial withdrawal
and improve race relations in Britain. Sandys developed important
private business interests in Africa and intervened personally
through both public and official channels on the question of
Rhodesia, Commonwealth immigration and the 'East of Suez'
withdrawal in the late 1960s. This book will appeal to students of
decolonisation and twentieth-century British politics alike.
