Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1997. First edition. Book condition: very good - just a very slight roll to the spine. Dust jacket condition: good. Clipped and with some shelf wear especially around the head & tail of the spine and to rear towards the lower edge. On his grand imperial tour, Harry Ritchie stops off at Bermuda, Ascension Island, the Falklands, Gibralter, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Tristan da Cunha and St Helena. With a series of witty and intrepid reports, covering issues such as conflict, identity, exploitation, vertigo and football, he answers the questions an anxious George V whispered on his deathbed - 'How is the Empire?'
