Jacob’s Reviews > Pax Britannica: The Climax of an Empire > Status Update

I have tried for like 5 years to finish this book. It is such a different beast from the first volume in the series, which moves along at a good clip while keeping you deeply engaged in the chronological narrative. I struggle with this book because it focusses only on one year: 1897. I find the lack of a chronological narrative to be really hard to follow. The short vignettes and idylls are good, but get same-y.
