Description
The first serious and sustained attempt to study the remarkable history of the British aristocracy as it has unfolded during the last hundred years. David Cannadine recounts the process by which the notable and nobles lost their wealth, power and prestige. The result is a compelling account of one of the most significant changes to have occurred in modern British history: it is also a riveting human drama, sometimes absurd, sometimes tragic, invariably fascinating.
