Review:
'A work to which that perilous word 'classic' may now be properly applied ... In scholarship and humour this portrait of the British Empire before its decline and fall might, without undue optimism, be placed upon the same shelf as Edward Gibbon's history. As a survey of its subject, I doubt that Pax Britannica can ever, in this generation, be surpassed.' --Financial Times
'A marvellous account of what the Empire was like.' --Daily Express
'Ebulliently readable. Morris has admirably captured the confusion of the brilliance and squalor, dynamic energy and bizarre comedy that made up the imperial picture of 1897.' --The Economist
Packed with colourful and significant detail'. --New York Times Book Review

The second instalment of the Pax Britannica Trilogy by Jan Morris captures the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1987 and portrays the confusion of a nation filled with poverty and squalor, brilliance and splendour.
