That was a time-consuming but rewarding read. Would that all reviews were so thorough and so even-handed. Many thanks for posting it.

As I have said many many times, we need better imperial skeptics. I asked Lester if he would ever consider organising reparations from the Bengali famine himself and he was silent.

If the left feel bad, do something for people over there out of their own pocket. If liberal imperialism is bad, then why don't the liberals do something other than make the rest of us feel bad?
