Simon Winchester, struck by an abrupt need to find exactly what was left of the British Empire, set out across the globe to go to the far-flung islands that are that remain of what once made Britain great. He traveled 100,000 miles back and forth, from Antarctica to the Caribbean, from the Mediterranean to the Far East, to capture a final glint of imperial glory.His adventures in these distant and forgotten ends of the planet earth make compelling, often funny reading and tell a tale almost all of us had thought was over: an account of the last outposts in Britain's imperial career and those who keep the flag flying.With a new introduction, this updated edition tells us what has happened to these extraordinary places as the author's been away.
