Description
Sri Lanka (Vol. 2): Part II Towards Independence 1945-1948 is a scholarly compilation of British documents tracing the critical years leading to Sri Lankan independence. Compiled by the University of London Institute of Commonwealth Studies and K. M. De Silva, this volume provides invaluable primary source material from government archives.
The collection captures the political negotiations, administrative decisions, and diplomatic correspondence between British officials and Sri Lankan leaders during the transition period. These documents reveal the complex process of decolonization in South Asia, including constitutional reforms, economic considerations, and strategic implications of independence.
Part of the prestigious British Documents on the End of Empire series, this work is essential for historians, scholars, and students researching post-World War II Commonwealth history and the dismantling of the British Empire. The official records offer authentic insights into colonial administration and the emergence of modern Sri Lanka as an independent nation.
