A sweeping, brilliantly vivid history of the sudden end of the British empire and the moment when America became a world superpower. "I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire." Winston Churchill's famous statement in November 1942, just as the tide of the Second World War was beginning to turn, pugnaciously affirmed his loyalty to the world-wide institution that he had served for most of his life. Britain fought and sacrificed on a worldwide scale to defeat Hitler and his allies-and won. Yet less than five years after Churchill's defiant speech, the British Empire effectively ended with Indian Independence in August 1947 and the end of the British Mandate in Palestine in May 1948. As the sun set on Britain's Empire, the age of America as world superpower dawned. How did this rapid change of fortune come about? Peter Clarke's book is the first to analyze the abrupt transition from Rule Britannia to Pax Americana. His swiftly paced narrative makes superb use of letters and diaries to provide vivid portraits of the figures around whom history pivoted: Churchill, Gandhi, Roosevelt, Stalin, Truman, and a host of lesser-known figures though whom Clarke brilliantly shows the human dimension of epochal events. The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire is a captivating work of popular history that shows how the events that followed the war reshaped the world as profoundly as the conflict itself.

The census of 1790, the first official enumeration of all heads of household residing in the infant republic, is the most important source concerning ordinary citizens at following the ratification of the Constitution. The original 1790 enumerations which have withstood the passage of time cover the present states of Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Vermont. In each of the published census volumes the schedules are arranged by county and in some cases by minor subdivisions of counties, thus enabling the researcher to narrow his field of research to a particular judicial district. Each volume is separately indexed, so the researcher has only a single alphabet to consult for each state. Heads of families, arranged in alphabetical order under each county and district, are listed with the following information after each name: Number of free white males of sixteen years and upward; number of free white males under sixteen years; number of free white females; number of all other free persons; number of slaves. The 1790 federal census for North Carolina identifies a population of ______ persons.

“[Sharef] has set down in meticulous, almost microscopic detail the events of [May 12, 13 and 14, 1948] in the Arab capitals, in Washington, at the UN, but mostly in Palestine itself, where the populace, both Jewish and Arab, lived in a state of almost continual excitement, tension and suspense... Mr. Sharef is writing history as he witnessed it... Three Days recreates much of the excitement and turbulence of those stirring days.” — Calgary Herald “Many volumes have been published recounting the events which led to the establishment of the State of Israel; but none matches in intensity Zeev Sharef’s detailed account of the last three days of the British Mandate... Mr. Sharef... traces in vivid and explicit detail the difficult situations which confronted the Jews in the last three days of the Mandate. He has succeeded, too — and this is the book’s ultimate virtue — in capturing the mood and the emotion of the moment.” — Congress Bi-Weekly “One of the best books anywhere about the lead-up to Israel’s independence.” — The Jerusalem Post “[Three Days] reflect[s] the mood of hope and despair during the trials which beset the Jewish community in Palestine on the eve of the termination of the British Mandate... the book... is remarkable.” — The Jerusalem Post “The detailed progression of the seventy-two hours reads like fiction of the most fascinating kind... the book generates its own excited momentum.” — Jewish Floridian

Queen Victoria's death, in January 1901, was an immense shock that unsettled Britain and the Empire to a degree that now seems inconceivable. She had been Queen for 63 years; people wept in the streets, and a million onlookers lined the route of her funeral procession in London. What would the country do without her?

The Martians are moving northwards, conquering Queen Victoria's Britain. The hideous alien beings, in their great tripod fighting machines, kill and destroy everything that stands in their path. In the Victorian Fenlands, Colonel Blake has assembled a militia from his Cambridgeshire Yeomanry and forcefully conscripted civilian help where necessary. Colonel Blake, of the Wake, oversees his bold ad-hoc engineering plan with help of a railway system that is operating on borrowed time. He must complete his plan before the giant tripod machines arrive and destroy the precious rail line. Everything must be properly prepared. Quickly and as efficiently as possible. Once done, the Wake Men will confront the confounded Martians with a few surprises of their own.
