He also discusses the impact of imperialism on the native populations and the potential for conflict between colonizing powers. The book provides a historical analysis of the colonization of the tropics, including the colonization of Africa and Asia. Kidd's writing is insightful and provides a unique perspective on the motivations behind imperialism. The Control of the Tropics is a significant work that continues to be studied by scholars of colonialism and imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
