Reviews

"""Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an essential contribution to the diplomatic and legal history of the second half of the nineteenth century. It shows how the concept of humanitarian intervention emerged on the fringes of the British, Omani and French empires during the suppression of the slave trade, paving the way for the modern history of human rights."" - Sue Peabody, Meyer Distinguished Professor of History and Liberal Arts, Washington State University. ""Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an important work. Using French and British diplomatic sources for the first time, it explores the complex relationship between the humanitarian dynamics of the 19th-century anti-slavery movement and the operations of the British Royal Navy, as well as European imperialism in East Africa."" - Professor Gwyn Campbell, Canada Research Chair in Indian Ocean World History, and Director of the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University."
