Outposts: Journeys to the Surviving Relics of the British Empire
Simon Winchester
In 1985 the author, struck by a sudden need to discover exactly what was left of the British Empire, travelled 100,000 miles back and forth from Antarctica to the Caribbean to visit the far-flung islands that are all that remain of what once made Britain great. This title presents his adventures in these distant and forgotten ends of the earth.
