Since the publication of Phillip Buckner and R. Douglas Francis'
ground-breaking Rediscovering the British World, there has not been
a collection of essays that looks at the history of the British
World from an all-round thematic perspective. This edited
collection defines the British World as a global community in which
members identified themselves predominantly as British and
considered the United Kingdom (UK) to be at its centre. The
chapters in the volume focus upon diverse aspects of British
identity and its interrelation with the history of Britain's former
settler-colonies and other regions of British settlement. Drawing
upon new research from established scholars, early career
researchers, and doctoral students, the edited collection aims to
offer new voices and perspectives to the study of the British
World. The book will appeal to both scholars and students of the
history of the British World and British imperial history, as well
as the national histories of Australia, Canada, Aotearoa New
Zealand, India, and the UK. Contents: Jatinder Mann / Iain

Revisit the British World?
This book presents oral histories from the last surviving UK
veterans of the Korean War. With the help of the UK National Army
Museum and the British Korean Society, this book collects nearly
twenty testimonials of UK veterans of the Korean War. Many only
teenagers when mobilized, these veterans attempt to put words to
the violence and trauma they experienced. They recall the landscape
and people of Korea, the political backdrop, and touching moments
in unlikely situations. Like other oral histories of war, their
stories recount friendship, hardship, the loss of innocence, and
the perseverance of humanity in the face of cruelty. The
testimonies were taken by academics and students from the
University of Roehampton, and supported by the National Army Museum
and the British Korean Society. Through their memories we learn a
great deal about the conflict in macro and micro scales.
