Download Farewell the Trumpets: An Imperial Retreat: Pax Britannica, Book 3 AudioBook Free
The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris' impressive background of the English Empire from 1837 to 1965. It is an extraordinary success, as entertaining as it is educational, and as vibrant and immediate as it is huge in opportunity and ambition. This final volume graphs the decrease and dissolution of that which was once the largest empire the globe had known. From your first symptoms of decay in the imperial ambition in the Boer Wars, through the global shifts in electric power evident in the two World Wars, it provides a perspective that is honest, evocative, and occasionally elegiac.
