Farewell the Trumpets: An Imperial Retreat traces the momentous decline and fall of the greatest of empires - from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee to the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. With characteristic balance, this masterpiece of narrative history describes the long retreat and final dissolution of the British Empire. The Pax Britannica Trilogy includes Heaven's Command: An Imperial Progress and Pax Britannica: The Climax of an Empire. Together these three works of history trace the dramatic rise and fall of the British Empire, from the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 to the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. Jan Morris is also world-renowned for her collection of travel writing and reportage, spanning over five decades and including such titles as Venice, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain, A Writer's World and most recently, Contact! 'The British Empire is fortunate in having found in Morris a chronicler and memorialist who can do it justice. . . Morris writes with inspired gusto, firmly rooted in erudition, which carries the book into the realms of literature.' Sunday Telegraph 'One of our finest writers on Empire - alive to its glory, yet with a beady eye for the corruptions and failures which were at its heart, along with the dreams.' Observer

When Akara rescues Wenk the Wanderer, he gives her a small silver trumpet as a thank-you gift. Unaccustomed to such kindness at the orphanage, Akara accepts the gift but wonders why it emits no sound when she blows through it. In spite of its silence, Akara repeatedly reaches for the trumpet when she's in trouble or in need of comfort. Will it help her escape the orphanage and the Tall Woman? Is this tiny instrument powerful enough to defeat the miller's desire to make her serve the Dark Power? Can it overcome the spiritual confusion of the Hill Soldiers? Will its silent tones reveal her family's heritage and, more importantly, lead her to the Truth? In this fast-paced sequel to The Shining Sword, author Charles G. Coleman reveals the correlation between prayer and successful spiritual warfare. Through their trumpets, the King's Soldiers offer praise and thanksgiving to their Leader, confess their sins, request healing for their injured comrades, ask for and receive deliverance from their enemies, and obtain spiritual guidance for their daily walk. As the battle for Akara's soul intensifies, will these prayers personified in the trumpet calls make the difference in her future? Join the memorable characters from The Shining Sword as they march forth from the King's Castle and enter the Valley with the Song of the Trumpet on their lips!
