Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World (Popular Penguin)

Niall Ferguson’s Empire is one of the most successful and controversial history books of recent years. Brilliantly re-telling the story of Britain’s imperial past, it shows how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers from a rainy island in the North Atlantic came to build the most powerful empire in all history, how it ended, and how – for better or worse – it made our world what it is today.
