The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris's magnificent history of the British Empire from 1837 to 1965.

It is an extraordinary achievement, as entertaining as it is informative, and as vivid and immediate as it is huge in scope and ambition.

This final volume charts the decline and dissolution of what was once the largest empire the world had known.
