THE RISE & FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Narrative & analysis are interwoven with revealing eyewitness"ation to provide keen insight into the minds of those involved in conquering, settling & ruling the greatest Empire the world has seen. Throughout, there are consistant themes; the search for profit & the moral misgivings it generated; domestic developments which made imperial expansion desirable; & the sense of national & personal destiny felt by the empire-builders. Spanning four centuries & six continents, James' magnificent survey examines the imperial experience & its legacy with tremendous verve. Informed, comprehensive & perceptive, it is the essential summary of the era. ' James' epic is not only a first-rate narrative, but also a penetrating portrait of the British... Having largely, if often inadvertently, selfishly or ham-fistedly, engineered the world we live in, we need the courage now to face up to our record as coolly & intelligently as Lawrence James has done'
- John Spurling, TLS. This book has 714 pages & is 19.7cm x 12.8cm x 4.7cm

Thomas Cromwell rose from very humble beginnings to become Henry Viiis chief minister, his right-hand man during the English Reformation.

He wielded enormous power while he retained the kings favour, but the failure of Henrys marriage to Anne of Cleves, which Cromwell had arranged, led to his swift downfall & execution.

John Schofields biography reveals that the popular image of him as a blood-stained henchman is largely fictional. Detailed research into contemporary sources illuminates his brilliant mind & his love for & patronage of the arts & humanities, while short case studies shed new light on his relations with, & his reputation among, Henry Viiis subjects.

The final part narrates the drama of his downfall, & the kings posthumous exoneration of the most faithful servant he ever had.
