Human Rights and the End of Empire
Britain and the Genesis of the European Convention
«Human Rights and the End of Empire is full of good things. It is well written, with numerous interesting (and provoking) asides and pen portraits of the dramatis personae. It provides an unrivalled narrative of the origins of the Convention and of British official attitudes to human rights in the immediate post-war years, and will be an invaluable aid to anyone wishing to understand the evolution of the European system of human rights protection.»
