After the Victorians

Edición de la obra After the Victorians

When this book begins, in the reign of Edward VII, Great Britain commands the mightiest empire the world has ever seen. By the time it ends, with the Coronation of Elizabeth II, Britain has emerged victorious for a world war, but ruined as aworld power. How did Britain's power and influence decline? This is one of the questions that A. N. Wilson seeks to answer in his masterly follow-up to The Victorians.
