This is a comprehensive survey of the entire history of the British empire. Lloyd describes the full sweep of expansion and decolonization from the voyages of discovery in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the achievement of independence in the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing out both parallels and differences between paths of development throughout the empire, Lloyd provides a unified and coherent account of a vital period in the history of all the countries that make up the modern Commonwealth. For the second edition, he has revised the text, updated the bibliography and tables, and added a final chapter on "The World after the Empire", which examines the important contemporary events countries of the former empire, such as South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong, and Australia.

"[I]t must be said at once, and with considerable respect, that this is by far the best one-volume history of the empire so far written."--Times Literary Supplement"Professor Lloyd writes easily and informatively. His bibliographical essay guides the reader expertly through the maze of recent and not so recent writings on the subject. His excellent book will appeal both to those who are relatively unfamiliar with the imperial story and those who are looking for a fresh understanding of the British Empire in a post-imperial age."--History"The style is refreshing and vigorous, as befits the subject, but never parts company from a consistently sober judgement on men and events."--International Affairs"Professor Lloyd is to be congratulated on his masterly and eminently readable synthesis which will be of the greatest value as a basic text in schools and universities."--Times Higher Education Supplement, "...it must be said at once, and with considerable respect, that this is by far the best one-volume history of the empire so far written."--Times Literary Supplement d 96/05/15 "Professor Lloyd writes easily and informatively.
