About this listen
Nothing offends liberals more than Western imperialism—it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, the biggest empire the world has ever known, covering at its height a quarter of the globe’s surface and ruling a quarter of the world’s population. Here, best-selling author H. W. Crocker III exposes—in brawling, rambunctious style—how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history.
So strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of history’s most colorful events. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire provides a panoramic and provocative view of 400 years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain.

Much needed critical approach to history
Everyone’s view will be different, but this provides valuable evidence that rarely appears in modern debate. The public “woke” view often has little research. It doesn’t paint a totally perfect picture of the empire, but it’s more rounded than most.

Inspirational
Many inspirational stories from History that illustrate very well how human commitment to do good and the complexity often encountered can combine to produce a wide variety of outcomes

Good read for history
Loved the historical aspect, wasn’t a massive fan of the accents during quotes though, but that’s just me

An enjoyable canter through history
I enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a complete chronological history of the British Empire then this isn't the book for you. It relays the history via biographies of key figures. It's very interesting and I learned lots of new stuff.
There was something amusing about listening to British Imperial history narrated by an American. He did a jolly good job and only mispronounced a few words.
Overall highly recommended, I'm going to check out some of the other books in this series.

Eye opening
The book contains a lot of information and details that you don’t get taught in our educational systems, or is ever highlighted in reports and current affairs

Interesting listen
Interesting take on interesting people. Certainly not a woke look at the British Empire. But worth a listen.

Heroic
Well researched, well written and read with appropriate panache as befits a subject of such magnitude, complexity and significance. The author , though far from being uncritical , asserts the many benefits brought by Pax Britannica. Commerce , profit and self preservation were not the whole story, and in the main the Empire's reliance on fair dealing and good governance with a light touch is amply dealt with. It is a view of the British Empire that needed to be told.

Informative. Eye opening.
I found this book to be a great insight about a time the British are now made to feel ashamed about. Highly informative & well researched with only a few pieces of creative influence from the author. I fact checked around a dozen references and all appeared to be correct.
Brilliant listen if history is your thing. If not, still worth a try. I will be purchasing the next one in the series.
