Empire

Once vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Fergusons acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history and set the world on the road to modernity. The most brilliant British historian of his generation Ferguson examines the roles of "pirates, planters, missionaries, mandarins, bankers and bankrupts" in the creation of historys largest empire he writes with splendid panache and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit Andrew Roberts Dazzling wonderfully readable New York Review of Books A remarkably readable precis of the whole British imperial story triumphs, deceits, decencies, kindnesses, cruelties and all Jan Morris Empire is a pleasure to read and brims with insights and intelligence Sunday TimesGiá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
