Empire [the rise and demise of the British world order and the lessons for global power]

Ferguson, Niall. (Author). Barrett, Sean. (Added Author).

Summary: In this major new work of synthesis and revision, Niall Ferguson argues that the British Empire should not be regarded merely as vanished Victoriana but as the very cradle of modernity. Displaying the originality and rigor that have made him the brightest light among British historians, Ferguson shows that far from being a subject for nostalgia, the story of the Empire is pregnant with lessons for the world today, in particular for the United States as it stands on the brink of a new kind of imperial power based once again on economic and military supremacy.
