Items related to The Decline and Fall of the British Empire, 1781-1997
A magisterial work of narrative history, hailed in Britain as “the best one-volume account of the British Empire” and “an outstanding book” (The Times Literary Supplement).
After the American Revolution, the British Empire appeared to be doomed. But over the next 150 years it grew to become the greatest and most diverse empire the world has ever seen—ranging from Canada to Australia to China, India, and Egypt—seven times larger than the Roman Empire at its apogee. Britannia ruled the waves and a quarter of the earth.
Yet it was also a fundamentally weak empire, as Piers Brendon shows in this vivid and sweeping chronicle. Run from a tiny island base, the British Empire operated on a shoestring with the help of local elites. It enshrined a belief in freedom that would fatally undermine its authority. Spread too thin, and facing wars, economic crises, and domestic discord, the empire would vanish almost as quickly as it appeared.
Within a generation, the mighty structure collapsed, sometimes amid bloodshed. This rapid demise left unfinished business in Rhodesia, the Falklands, and Hong Kong. It left an array of dependencies and a ghost of an empire overshadowed by a rising America. Above all, it left a contested legacy: at best, a sporting spirit, a legal code, and a near-universal language; at worst, failed states and internecine strife.
Brendon tells this story with brio and brilliance; covering a vast canvas, he fills it with vivid firsthand accounts of life in the colonies and intimate portraits of the sometimes eccentric British officials who administered them. It is all here—from brief lives to telling anecdotes to comic episodes to symbolic moments. Panoramic in scope and riveting in detail, this is narrative history at its finest.

Review:
"A masterpiece of historical narrative."-"Literary Review"
"The conquest of one quarter of the world's surface was, as Piers Brendon shows in disturbingly entertaining fashion, a story of massacre, famine, rape, torture and loot on a grand scale."-"Scotland on Sunday"
A "Washington Post Book World "Notable Book
"Brilliant. . . . A splendid popular history of the British Empire. . . . Brendon [has] a gift for catching the moments of history that people treasure."
--"The New York Review of Books"
"Hair-raising. . . . Pointed, sharply drawn, wide in its sweep. . . . Many accounts of the British empire have appeared in recent years, but few are as entertaining as this."
--"Boston Globe"
"Entertaining. . . . Lucid and well informed. . . . Every page is consistently readable and stimulating. . . . [Brendon] doesn't draw a purely bleak picture, or present a bill of indictment. He captures the nuanced relations between the English and the peoples they ruled."
--"The New York Times Book Review"
"Splendid. . . . Brendon's book is history with the nasty bits left in."
--"The Washington Post Book World"
"Sharply drawn. . . . A rich panorama of triumph, splendor and folly that is truly global in scale."
--"Newsday"
"Only a very confident historian with a massive, comprehensive, and thoroughly researched manuscript would willingly invite comparisons with the British historian Edward Gibbon. [Brendon] fits that bill."
--"Foreign Affairs"
"Magnificent. . . . Provocative. . . . Marvellously readable."
"--Financial Times"
"An outstanding book. . . . Compelling reading from start to finish: it is the best one-volume account of the British Empire. . . . At once popular and scholarly, "The Decline and Fall of the British Empire "demonstrates a thorough command of the historical literature."
--"Times Literary Supplement" (London)
"A narrative masterpiece. The settings are exotic, the cast of thousands full of the most eccentric, egotistical, paranoid, swashbuckling players you are likely to meet in any history. . . . Endlessly engrossing and disturbing."
--"The Sunday Telegraph" (London)
"[Brendon] spins an epic yarn of heroes, villains, dreamers and fools who risked and often lost their lives to establish and maintain an empire for the glory of the crown; and who often enriched themselves in the process."
--"The Washington Times"
"A compelling and spectacularly detailed retelling of imperial 'rise' as well as fall. . . . Not since Jan Morris's "Pax Britannica "trilogy has anyone recounted these events with such sustained panache. . . . Remarkable."
--"The Guardian" (London)
"Magisterial. . . . A huge and hugely impressive book, mighty in scale as its subject, elegantly written and rigorous in its research."
--"The Daily Telegraph" (London)
"Brendon packs his narrative history of Great Britain with adventures, eccentrics, and other interesting characters."
--"National Geographic"
"Readable and highly provocative. . . . This is not a dry, blow-by-blow account of Britain's impact upon the outside world. . . . This is the story of the British Empire, warts and all."
--"The New York Sun"
"While there may be many books on the British Empire, this is undoubtedly the most entertaining and the best. . . . A book of enormous range and complexity, driven by a powerful narrative engine and leavened with a splendid sense of wit and irony. It takes courage to emulate the great Gibbon, but Brendon succeeds magnificently."
"--The Evening Standard" (London)
"Unlike some recent chroniclers of empire, Brendon has no agenda. . . . [This] is, quite simply, a masterpiece of historical narrative. No review can hope to do justice to the depth of Brendon's research, the balance and originality of his conclusions, or the quality and humour of his prose."
--"Literary Review"
" "
"Prodigious. . . . Stuffed with myriad spectacular examples of human vanity, folly, depravity and greed--and is all the better for it. . . . [Brendon] persuasively demonstrates that so much of the contemporary Middle East crisis can be laid at the door of the Foreign Office. . . . A brilliant account."
