شروق الإمبراطورية البريطانية وغروبها: المجلد الثاني

by Lawrence James, عبد الله عبد الرازق إبراهيم (ترجمة وتقديم), شوقي عطا الله الجمل (مراجعة)

Great Britain's geopolitical role has undergone many changes over the last four centuries. Once a maritime superpower and ruler of half the world, Britain now occupies an isolated position as an economically fragile island often at odds with her European neighbors. Lawrence James has written a comprehensive, perceptive and insighful history of the British Empire. Spanning the years from 1600 to the present day, this critically acclaimed book combines detailed scholarship with readable popular history.
