A. N. Wilson's landmark sequel to The Victorians is a panoramic view of an era, stretching from the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 to the dawn of the cold war in the early 1950s. He offers riveting accounts of the savagery of World War I, the world-altering upheaval of the Communist Revolution, and Britain's role in shaping the destiny of the Middle East. Blending military, political, social, and cultural history of the most dramatic kind, Wilson offers an absorbing portrait of the decline of one of the world's great powers. The result is a fresh account of the birth pangs of the modern world, as well as a timely analysis of imperialism and its discontents.
