But what about Britain’s role in the world? “A People’s History of the British Empire” challenges the claim that the British Empire was a kinder, gentler empire and suggests that the description of ‘Rogue State’ is more fitting.

John Newsinger has written a wonderful popular history of key episodes in British imperial history
