The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire (The Politically Incorrect Guides)
A brawling, rambunctious history celebrating the Empireâ€”and the intrepid empire-buildersâ€”that gave the United States, Canada, India, and Australia not just a common language, but common ideals of freedom and justice

The British Empireâ€”the biggest empire in historyâ€”once ruled a quarter of the globe. It was built by an incredible array of swashbuckling soldiers and sailors, pirates and adventurers who finally get their due in H. W. Crocker IIIâ€™s panoramic and provocative view of four hundred years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain. Strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of historyâ€™s most colorful events.
Bet your teacher never told you:
- The Founding Fathers didnâ€™t rebel against British imperialism; they looked forward to the transfer â€œof the great seat of Empire to Americaâ€
- The original Norman English invasion of Ireland was approved by the pope
- Sir Charles Napier, commander in chief of the British Army in India, abolished the Hindu custom of widow-burning
- Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templerâ€™s â€œhearts and mindsâ€ counter- insurgency strategy was instrumental in defeating the Communists in Malaya
- The breakup of the British Empire led Winston Churchill to conclude that he had achieved â€œnothingâ€ in his life
