The Age of Empires by Robert Aldrich
The story of thirteen modern Empires, a story full of suspense, cruelty, conflict, heroism, great explorations and extraordinary feats of endurance, is here told with a rich profusion of illustrations drawn from a wide range of vivid, colourful, authentic sources.Now that the age of empires is fully over, it is possible for the first time to draw up a balance sheet of praise and blame.
'It would be very difficult to find a more beautifully produced book … the images are simply breathtaking … this is a book to be enjoyed for the most part at leisure, as a kind of stimulant for the mind and senses' - The Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
