The British Empire Trilogy III

The British Empire Trilogy recounts the British history from the accession of Queen Victoria to the death of Churchill in a huge length. The narrative style is brilliant and vivid, involving different continents, various characters and many wars. With the help of the author's field study, it reappears the long course of the British Empire from the rise to the decline.

The third book, A Farewell to Bugle, recounts the process of the gradual decline of the British Empire in the 20th century after two world wars, the independence of many colonies and the eventual collapse of the empire. The British fell into the quagmire of the Boer War in South Africa, suffered a disastrous defeat in the Dardanelles, and fought in the Arab region. After the defeat and recovery of the Second World War, the nationalism of the colonies flourished and they fought for national independence, and the British Empire gradually lost its former glory and retreated to the British Island.
