The Cambridge History of the British Empire

The general editors were John Holland Rose, A. P. Newton and Ernest Alfred Benians.

Eric Walker's second edition of the South Africa volume in 1963, for instance, was criticised for using an outdated approach[1] and the series is currently out of print.

The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire, a one-volume work edited by P. J. Marshall, was published in 1996 but that also is out of print.

Historian Caroline Elkins has described the work as promoting a teleological Whig history of the British Empire that minimises, ignores or explains away the role of violence in expanding and maintaining the British Empire.
