Farewell the trumpets : an imperial retreat

Morris, Jan 1926- (Author). McMillan, Roy, 1963- (Narrator). hoopla digital. (Added Author). Read by Roy McMillan. (Cast).

Summary: The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris' magnificent history of the British Empire from 1837 to 1965. This final volume charts the decline and dissolution of what was once the largest empire the world had known. From the first signs of decay in the imperial ambition in the Boer Wars, through the global shifts in power evident in the two World Wars, it offers a perspective that is honest, evocative and occasionally elegiac.
