Lloyd describes the full sweep of expansion and decolonization from the voyages of discovery in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the achievement of independence in the second half of the twentieth century.

For the second edition, he has revised the text, updated the bibliography and tables, and added a final chapter on "The World after the Empire," which examines the important contemporary events countries of the former empire, such as South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong, and Australia
