Más información sobre el libro
Great Britain's geopolitical role in the global scheme of things has undergone many radical changes over the last four centuries. Once a maritime superpower and ruler of half the world, Britain's current position as an isolated, economically fragile island squabbling with her European neighbours often seems difficult to accept, if not comprehend. Spanning four centuries and six continents, Lawrence James' THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE examines the imperial experience and its legacy with tremendous verve and perception. In this new edition his original work has been abridged and illustrated with meticulously researched photographs, paintings and ephemera to create a comprehensive and visually stunning and accessible summary of the era.
