In this work, historian Stephanie Barczewski argues that Britain's embrace of heroic failure initially helped to gloss over the moral ambiguities of imperial expansion. Later, it became a strategy for coming to terms with diminishment and loss. Filled with compelling, moving, and often humourous stories from history, Barczewski's survey offers a fresh way of thinking about the continuing legacy of empire in British culture today.
