- Summary
- "This memoir describes a time when Britain's global standing was coming increasingly under threat. From the comparative security of the 1930s, Ian Scott takes us into the uncertainties of a post-war world. At this time, the British Empire, fatally weakened during the Second World War, faced dismemberment and collapse as the Cold War gathered pace. In the process, we follow Scott's career from his schooldays in Trinidad to the north-west frontier of India, from Delhi to Beirut, from the Sudan to Norway." "With wry humour, and including material not before made public, A British Tale of Indian and Foreign Service sheds light on the day-to-day routine of imperial administration as well as providing insights into the unfolding of great historical events."--BOOK JACKET
