Empire: What Ruling the World Did to the British by Jeremy Paxman
I got this for Christmas and just finished reading it. Pretty much agree with this review- if you’re looking for an answer to the question he claims to be posing you won’t be satisfied. However, if like me, you want an overview of Empire and to know the story behind the myths, (Khartoum, Eden, Mau Mau etc) it’s a readable and even handed account. Good stuff.
