A highly original account of the part played by historians in the British Commonwealth of Nations that figured on the world stage form the First World War until the aftermath of the Second World War. A century after the self-governing colonies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa were designated 'Dominions', David McIntyre's accessible and engaging study looks at the work of seventeen historians, who made their own mark on the story as well writing about it. With Dominion status, the 'new Britains' combined full freedom with continuing unity under the flexible and ever-evolving triple conventions of autonomy, free association, and common allegiance to the Crown. It was a peaceful and fascinatingly subtle pathway to sovereign independence that satisfied the British states, but not most Afrikaners, Irish and Indians, whose countries became Dominions but determined to abandon the Crown and become sovereign republics.
