We can compare reviews as I have started on my copy. I have enjoyed what little I have skimmed through so far. Conspicuously absent from the aforesaid book is the Indian Police Service an area that has interested me for some time. What is very clear from the book is the heavy influence that police and policing from the Royal Irish Constabulary had in colonial policing. That expertise is something untapped by the current UK Government, although when the RUC became the PSNI and downsized many became security and policing contractors.
