A Wider Patriotism cover

When Alfred Milner was knighted, he took as his motto Communis Patria, 'patriotism for our common country'. This is the study of Milner, which takes his politics, or 'constructive' imperialism as its primary theme. It also discovers a group of young female supporters of his vision.

'Thompson ... sets Milner's administrative talents against his inability to compromise his imperial aims ... Recommended' CHOICE 'we can thank Thompson for providing us with the 'behind the scenes' details of many of Milner's ideas and relationships, shorn of proto-imperialist bombast.' Twentieth-Century British History
