I have NEVER been a PERSON to BUILD EMPIRES.

I'm struck by how impressively John Elliott assimilated new work on early MODERN England and colonial America, as WELL as keeping abreast with his own HISPANIC STUDIES, so as to write his recent 'Empires of the Atlantic World.'

Look back over the past, with its CHANGING EMPIRES that ROSE and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
