{"product_id":"the-decline-and-fall-of-the-british-aristocracy","title":"The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy","description":"\"A brilliant, multifaceted chronicle of economic and social change.\" --The New York Times\n\nAt the outset of the 1870s, the British aristocracy could rightly consider themselves the most fortunate people on earth: they held the lion's share of land, wealth, and power in the world's greatest empire. By the end of the 1930s they had lost not only a generation of sons in the First World War, but also much of their prosperity, prestige, and political significance.\n\nDeftly orchestrating an enormous array of documents and letters, facts, and statistics, David Cannadine shows how this shift came about--and how it was reinforced in the aftermath of the Second World War. Astonishingly learned, lucidly written, and sparkling with wit, The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy is a landmark study that dramatically changes our understanding of British social history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375703683\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0375703683.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cannadine, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
