Useful, engaging and comprehensive overview of the British Empire and British colonialism. Recommend for those with no previous knowledge on the subject especially those who feel intimidated or challenged by the topic and those with more knowledge who are looking for a short general overview and review of current and up to date historiography on the subject.

I've always been glass half empty kind of person, but this read has unlocked a new level of nihilism for me. It had me shaking my head in anger and disappointment, which in turn disturbed fellow passengers on my morning commute. Very depressing but much needed eye-opener.
