Farewell the Trumpets Audiobook (Free)

The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris’s masterly telling from the Uk Empire from your accession of Queen Victoria to the death of Winston Churchill. It really is a towering accomplishment: informative, accessible, entertaining and written with all her usual bravura. This last volume graphs the drop and dissolution of what was after the largest empire the world had known. From the first signals of decay in the imperial ambition in the Boer Wars, through the global shifts in power evident in the two World Wars, it offers a perspective that is honest, evocative and occasionally elegiac.
