Description

No empire has been larger or more diverse than the British Empire. At its apogee in the 1930s, 42 million Britons governed 500 million foreign subjects. Filled with particulars, brief lives, telling anecdotes, comic episodes, symbolic moments and illustrative vignettes, this work presents the story of the decline and eclipse of the British might.
