The Age of Empire, 1875-1914

Eric Hobsbawm's masterful history of the years 1875 to 1914 captures the strange death of the nineteenth century and the birth of our own. With his characteristic blend of erudition and graceful prose, he explores the paradoxes of an age of unparalleled peace that gave way to world war, of empires built with ease that would soon vanish. This is a brilliant conclusion to his celebrated trilogy on the long nineteenth century.
