Book Sale | Pax Britannica | James Morris

Pax Britannica is actually a collection of three books charting the history of most of the British Imperial experience. The first book in the trilogy is entitled Heaven’s Command and charts the rise of the Victorian Empire. It documents the bravado, confidence, absent mindedness and cunning that led to the creation of the largest empire the world has ever seen. The second book is entitled Pax Britannica and is intended as a snapshot of the Imperial world at the apogee of its power in 1897. This is the year in which Queen Victoria held her Diamond Jubilee in truly imperial pomp and ceremony. The Final book is entitled Farewell the Trumpets and documents the final retreat from the great adventure.

These books are beautifully illustrated and in excellent condition.
