Between the mid-15th and the mid-18th century, every European country bordering the Atlantic (and some that did not) acquired land overseas. But, as these imperial powers rushed to grab colonies, the world began to grow too small for these competing adventurers. Continuing the story he began in The Age of Reconnaissance, the author of the highly praised History of Civilization series now deals with the second phase of empire--its expanded operations, collisions, mutinies, alterations of course, and changing attitude toward the subject races.

Still, this book can only be blamed for an excessively national vantage point in comparison to The Age of Reconnaissance. In comparison to the average book on colonial history, its scope certainly is very general and broad. There were many sections which I enjoyed reading. The author can write a good narrative, even though he at times veers into a bit too much detail. In conclusion, this is probably a great book for British readers who want to study global colonial history in the eighteenth century. And it is a reasonably good book even for other readers interested in the period, but they may have to skip some sections where the author starts to wax poetic about the deeds and personalities of "Pitt the elder" or Cornwallis.
