A wide-ranging book which brings within a single view the wars which created Europe's empires. Beginning with the post-Napoleonic era, it presents all the major episodes of an often dramatic story in which the military agents of European imperialism met the peoples of the rest of the world in armed conflict.

Erudite, ironic, and global in its scope, this book is a definitive guide to the history of racism and Eurocentrism.
