First edition of this work by the award-winning historian. Tall Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Niall Ferguson on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Rick Pracher.
This astoundingly successful, superbly reviewed book vividly recreates the excitement, brutality and adventure of the British Empire. Ferguson's most revolutionary and popular work, "Empire" is a major reinterpretation of the British Empire as one of the world's greatest modernising forces. It shows on a vast canvas how the British Empire in the 19th Century spearheaded real globalisation with steampower, telegraphs, guns, engineers, missionaries and millions of settlers.
