Download or read book This Sceptred Isle written by Christopher Lee and published by BBC Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the British Empire is one of enormous personalities, adventure, scientific and maritime advancement, and the creation of one of the most complex international administrations the world has ever seen. This masterful work charts the history of exploration from the 16th century, but more importantly, from the mid-18th century to the period shortly before the First World War. It also looks at the immediate and long-range effects on the people themselves—the colonized and the colonizers—and why it all began to end when it did.
