About the book

Jan Morris's Pax Britannica trilogy is a sweeping history of the British Empire from its Victorian height through its eventual decline. Beginning with the extraordinary imperial world surrounding Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, Morris explores the people, places, institutions and contradictions of an empire extending across the globe. Combining history, travel writing and vivid description, the trilogy examines both the confidence of imperial Britain and the forces that ultimately brought its dominance to an end.
