About this ebook
“In the whole British chronicle, then, no span of one hundred years seems more clearly marked out as a definite political and social era than the Nineteenth Century . . . ” So writes the author in this sweeping story of 100 years in Great Britain’s history, a portrait of the events, people, politics, and wars during a momentous century.
