Shipway's expertise in the French experience of this period is self-evident and, with Madagascar and Sudan, he has focused on case studies which are often overlooked in works of this kind. The book is based on an extensive bibliography, and while not dramatically re-casting existing historical explanations, it will make a welcome addition to undergraduate reading lists on decolonization.\" (\u003ci\u003eSouth African Historical Journal,\u003c\/i\u003e July 2010)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[The] book represents a notable accomplishment, a feat of stylish synthesis and compression which will inject still greater energy into an already vigorous debate.\" (\u003ci\u003eH-Soz-u-Kult,\u003c\/i\u003e June 2010)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This book offers both original insights and a meticulous engagement with the existing historiography on the subject.\" (\u003ci\u003eThe American Historical Review,\u003c\/i\u003e February 2010)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It provides a much needed comparative review of European decolonization, grounded in a thorough survey of the most recent literature on the subject....
