We do a review of a book review and discuss the relationship between liberalism and imperialism using Sunil Khilnani's review of Caroline Elkins' "Legacy of Violence." 

We end up discussing the relationship between liberalism and imperialism, the implications of the "victors" writing history and setting the narrative, and of course the depravities of British Empire, cloaked in the veil of "kind" liberalism
