Praise for Farewell the Trumpets
"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
