Publisher's Summary
Nothing offends liberals more than Western imperialism—it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, the biggest empire the world has ever known, covering at its height a quarter of the globe’s surface and ruling a quarter of the world’s population. Here, best-selling author H. W. Crocker III exposes—in brawling, rambunctious style—how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history.
So strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of history’s most colorful events. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire provides a panoramic and provocative view of 400 years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain.

Brilliantly entertaining
If you think British Imperialism was all bad, think again. And listen to this. Very entertaining too. Story told through individuals, a multiple biography really. I knew many of the stories but still enjoyed it. Jan Morris's 3 volume Pax Britannica is probably the best but as that's a genuine literary masterpiece and in 3 volumes, comparison is unfair. This comes close. if you are British or have British ancestors you really owe it to yourself to hear the other side of the warped story we hear daily now. There's plenty to admire.

Finally an honest look at British history
This is engagingly written and covers many subjects which until now have been so subjectively bastardised. All history book especially must be politically incorrect, lies and obfuscation have NO place in history if we are to learn any lessons from the past. And please is should be made mandatory that Ray Porter narrate all history texts from now on!

Exceptional and brave book.
It is extremely rare to see a sensible book on the BE, with events put in context. Well done indeed.

Worth a listen for a primer on Major figures of Empire
Some interesting Bios of Major figures of the Empire, however often of the content is blithely jingoistic and without nuance….and the accents used by the narrator approach comical. Offered for free, the price is right.

History through rose coloured glasses
I was expecting a different take on major historical events, but the judgemental descriptions of whole peoples was closer to repeating stereotypes and outright ridiculing everyone not onboard with remaining a colony of Britain.
Narrator however was excellent.

The title says it all.
Selective and simplistic propaganda for colonialism. Completed the book just to see what other peoples would be offended.
