Description
The British Empire reached its maximum territorial extent in 1923, but the tide was already turning. This new perspective on the empire focuses on the people and stories from that day, gathered from various sources such as newspapers, letters, diaries, official documents, magazines, films, and novels. On September 29th, 1923, the Palestine Mandate became law, marking a significant moment in the empire's history. The book explores this event and its impact on people across different parts of the world, from remote Pacific Islands to London and the West Indies. By examining the contemporary moment through individual stories, this book offers a fresh look at the British Empire's history, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of its final days.
