"We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is put by different people, we read the poetry; we meditate over the literature; we play the music; we change our minds; we reach an understanding. Society evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other."
- Lewis Thomas,
The Medusa and the Snail
(1979)

At the same time as the US Army set out to avenge the defeat of Custer's 7th Cavalry, British soldiers were in action on the border with Afghanistan and a network of French forts dotted the Sahara. During the nineteenth century European powers expanded their empires to swallow almost every independent state in Africa and Asia. In this violent clash of cultures, the margins of victory were often slim and the 'civilized' powers sometimes met bloody defeat. However, by the turn of the twentieth century the wars of empire had established 'western' rule across the globe. From the 'scramble for Africa' to the Russian march into the Caucasus, this is the fascinating story of the Age of Imperialism.
