Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. anti-British rubbish obviously written by someone who doesn't appreciate their history I thought our current crop of politicians were a shower of sh*ts, but after reading this I see they're just following in the inglorious footsteps of their predecessors - lies, deception, profiteering and downright murder. My school history never told us about the brave attempts of colonised people to overthrow their oppressors, or the brutality with which they were met. An excellent and disturbing book.

Newsinger challenges the claim that the British Empire was a kinder, gentler empire and suggests that the description 'rogue state' is more fitting. In a wonderful popular history of key episodes in British imperial history, he illustrates the darker side of the glory years - Britain's deep involvement in the Chinese opium trade; Gladstone's maiden parliamentary speech defending his family's slave plantation in Jamaica - paying particular attention to the strenuous efforts of the colonised to free themselves of the motherland's baleful rule.
