About this title

Synopsis

Maps trace the development of the British Empire from 1500 to the present

Reviews

At first glance, this handsome work seems to belong to the tired coffee-table genre--all show and precious little substance. Yet, thankfully, such is decidedly not the case. Upwards of a dozen noted historians of the British Empire have combined their talents to produce a work which provides a solid narrative overview of the British Empire, from its dawn in Tudor times to the imperial sunset of this century. Some 40 maps, well chosen and presented, justify describing the book as an atlas, and illustrations (both in black and white and color) add to its overall appeal. An excellent beginning point for gaining a geographical and historical grasp of Britain's far-flung and disparate empire.
