Review:
'Breathtaking ... A sensible and civilized view of imperial decline, nostalgic, regretful of some things, honest, justly proud, and curiously contented.' --New Statesman

'The British Empire is fortunate in having found in Morris a chronicler and memorialist who can do it justice ... Morris writes with inspired gusto, firmly rooted in erudition, which carries the book into the realms of literature.' --Sunday Telegraph

'A monument to immense perceptive industry, filling the text with shrewd knowledge and information ... This is, triumphantly, a traveller's book, as well as a journalist's and a writer's.' --The Economist

'One of our finest writers on Empire - alive to its glory, yet with a beady eye for the corruptions and failures which were at its heart, along with the dreams.' --Observer
Book Description:
Farewell the Trumpets: An Imperial Retreat by Jan Morris is a masterpiece of narrative history that traces the gradual demise of the British Empire and culminates with the death of Winston Churchill in 1965.
