Duncan Sandys and the informal politics of Britain's late decolonisation[electronic resource] /by Peter Brooke. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xi, 271 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Cambridge imperial and post-colonial studies series. - Cambridge imperial and post-colonial studies series..

1. Introduction -- 2. Duncan Sandys' Career and Decolonisation -- 3. Saving South Arabia -- 4. Making Peace with Rhodesia -- 5. 'Turn off the Tap': Immigration and Race Relations -- 6. The Kenyan Asian Crisis and the 'White Passport Act' -- 7. Conclusion.

This book throws new light on the impact of informal 'old boy' networks on British decolonisation. Duncan Sandys was one of the leading Conservative politicians of the middle decades of twentieth-century Britain. He was also a key figure in the Harold Macmillan's 'Winds of Change' policy of decolonisation, serving as Secretary for the Colonies and Commonwealth Relations from 1960 to 1964. When he lost office he fought strenuously to undermine the new Labour Government's attempts to accelerate colonial withdrawal and improve race relations in Britain. Sandys developed important private business interests in Africa and intervened personally through both public and official channels on the question of Rhodesia, Commonwealth immigration and the 'East of Suez' withdrawal in the late 1960s. This book will appeal to students of decolonisation and twentieth-century British politics alike.
