Description
In this companion volume to "Europe: Grandeur and Decline", the author tackles English topics from Cromwell and Cobbett to Roger Casement and Winston Churchill, from the uses of monarchy to his home town of Manchester. There are assessments of Queen Victoria, her Empire and the statesmen of her age, along with longer studies of Lloyd George, European rivalries in Egypt, the Crimean War and politics in the Great War.
