Don't be shy, send me a message!
The British Empire is scarcely taught in schools in modern Britain, yet many of us Brits have personal connections to it. Learning about our individual heritage can connect us to a wider national and global story. Here, I talk about my own interest, my travels to places once ruled by the UK, and the five books that helped inform me on the reality of Empire. I give the recommendations from around the ten-minute mark, with readings and reviews. Each have their own strengths, and weaknesses. If you read any one them, I hope you find it informative and enjoyable.
'The Rise and Fall of the British Empire' by Lawrence James
'Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World' by Niall Ferguson
'Pax Britannica' by Jan Morris
'The Great Game' by Peter Hopkirk
'Empire of the Seas: How the Navy forged the modern world' by Brian Lavery
