History of English politics and overseas misadventures during the time 1895-1905. Covers the second Boer war, and the changing international tensions between the main powers of the time. Readable, but not engrossing.

Élie Halévy was a French philosopher and historian who wrote studies of the British utilitarians, a history of 19th-century England and the acclaimed book of essays, Era of Tyrannies. The 19th century English utilitarians shared in a movement for human rights that was at the time sweeping through Europe.
