A question about which I have never been able to see the other side -- Part II. Civilian soldier of the empire : South Africa -- Part III. Constructive imperialism -- Part IV. Imperialism on the anvil.When Alfred Milner (1854-1925) was knighted, he took as his motto Communis Patria, 'patriotism for our common country'. By this he meant the wider patriotism of the British Empire, the furthering of which he made his life's work. This is the first study of Milner to take his politics, or 'constructive' imperialism as its primary theme. His career is examined as a whole, from the genesis of his imperial ideology at Oxford, through his time as High Commissioner in South Africa during the Boer War, to his days as Minister of War during the final seven months of the First World War. Famously, Milner propagated his ideas through his 'kindergarten', a group of like-minded young male acolytes. In this fascinating book, J Lee Thompson also discovers a group of young female supporters of his vision. This book is based on extensive primary research in archives in the UK, North America and South Africa.Empires in perspective.StatesmenGreat BritainBiographyColonial administratorsGreat BritainBiographyColonial administratorsSouth AfricaBiographySouth AfricaHistory1836-1909Great BritainPolitics and government1837-1901Great BritainPolitics and government1901-1936Great BritainColoniesStatesmenColonial administratorsColonial administrators941.083092Thompson J.
