| Sommario/riassunto: | For almost two hundred years, Britain dominated the world, its naval supremacy enabling it to acquire a vast empire. A dwindling economy, and the cost of two world wars, saw this once-mighty empire crumble, giving in the process independence to nearly all of its dominions. This work offers an account of this extraordinary rise and fall. |
