After the Victorians
Monday, November 07, 2005
At the height of its power, the British Empire controlled 1/5 of the world’s land area, and nearly a quarter of its population. In his sequel to The Victorians, historian A.N. Wilson looks at what led to the decline of this world power. The new book is After the Victorians.
