War and Empire in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | ISBN: 0333968409 | edition 2001 | PDF | 257 pages | 7,65 mb
By examining Mauritius and the Indian Ocean, this synthesis of imperial and naval/military history reveals the depths of colonial involvement in the Second World War and the role of colonies in British strategic planning from the 18th century. In the century of total war, the British Empire was fully mobilized.
The author looks at how the Mauritian home front became regimented, troops were recruited for service overseas, the Eastern fleet guarded the Indian Ocean, and Mauritius became a base for SOE operations and intelligence-gathering for Bletchley.
