Places in the Sun is an insightful travelogue and political assessment penned by Anthony Eden, offering a firsthand account of his journey across the British Empire during the mid-1920s. Following his participation in the Imperial Press Conference of 1925, Eden chronicles his experiences and observations throughout the Dominions, including Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The work provides a unique window into the social, economic, and political landscapes of the Commonwealth during a pivotal inter-war period.

Through vivid descriptions and sharp analysis, Eden explores the ties that bound the British Empire together and the emerging national identities within the territories. He reflects on the challenges of governance, the potential for trade, and the strategic importance of these global territories to the post-war order. As the work of a young statesman who would later become a major figure in British politics, Places in the Sun serves as both an engaging piece of travel literature and a significant historical document of imperial relations. Readers interested in geopolitical history, the evolution of the Commonwealth, and the early observations of a future Prime Minister will find this narrative both illuminating and thought-provoking.
