Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire is a 2022 nonfiction history book by Pulitzer Prize-winning American historian and author Caroline Elkins. It covers the history of the British Empire from the Bengal Famine of 1770, to the days of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, up until the late 1950's and early 1960's.

Caroline Elkins gained world-wide acclaim for her first book, Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya (2005), for which she won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, which talks about human rights abuses in British detention facilities in Kenya during the Mau Mau Emergency, which ultimately turned into a genocide of the Mau Mau people (significant events including the Hola massacre). Elkins said that she wrote Legacy of Violence mainly because of unanswered questions from Imperial Reckoning. Elkins described researching for Legacy of Violence as "arduous," partially because there were so many missing documents relating to the detention camps, and in Kenya in general. In 2009, just 4 years after Imperial Reckoning was published, five survivors of the British detention camps in Kenya sued the British government, and Elkins appeared as an expert witness on the survivors' behalf. During the investigation, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) found 300 boxes of documents relating to said British detention facilities. Elkins began research for the book shortly after, going through both the newly released documents as well as 8,800 files from 36 other colonies, and expanding her research to pre-WW2 Britain.

Legacy of Violence starts with the Black Lives Matter protests in the early 2020's. The book goes over several major points in British history, and Elkins talks about British domination over India in the late 18th century.

Tim Adams wrote in The Guardian concerning the book, "Legacy of Violence is a formidable piece of research that sets itself the ambition of identifying the character of British power over the course of two centuries and four continents." Goodreads gave the book 4.24 of 5 stars, and called it, "a searing study of the British Empire that interrogates the country's pervasive use of violence throughout the twentieth century and traces how these practices were exported, modified, and institutionalized in colonies around the globe."

Directive 8020 is an upcoming sci-fi horror video game in The Dark Pictures Anthology series, currently under development by Supermassive Games.

Development
A sneak peek of the game was previewed in an end credits scene of The Devil in Me, although a teaser trailer was leaked a day before the previous game's release. It appears that the game will take place in outer space, with many calling it a turning point for the series.
