The Pax Britannica trilogy is Jan Morris’s magnificent history of the British Empire from 1837 to 1965. Huge in scope and ambition, it is always personal and immediate, bringing the story vividly to life. Pax Britannica, the second volume, is a snapshot of the Empire at the Diamond Jubilee of 1897. It looks at what made up the Empire —from adventurers and politicians to communications and infrastructure, as well as anomalies and eccentricities. This humane overview also examines the muddle of jumbled ideologies behind it, and how it affected its 370 million people.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

To be frank, this was interesting to me only as an insight into a delusional mind drunk on a fiction of Empire and blind to an objective assessment of the Empire's real world consequences. As biased as the Daily Mail's special edition for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (which it quotes extensively).
