This book examines the wartime controversies between Britain and Americaabout the future of the colonial world, and considers the ethical, military, andeconomic forces behind imperialism during World War II. It concludes that, forBritain, there was a revival of the sense of colonial mission; the Americans, onthe other hand, felt justified in creating a strategic fortress in the PacificIslands while carrying the torch of "international trusteeship" throughout therest of the world--a scheme that Churchill and others viewed as a cloak forAmerican expansion.
