Empire

I just bought a book at Chapters entitled "Empire". It is an examination of how and why Britain built it's Empire, and what the long lasting effects are. This is a topic I have been interested in for many years, but never had the opportunity to examine. I'm looking forward to reading this book! Hopefully it can avoid much of the politically correct analysis so common over the last 30 years, and present a balanced view of the good and the bad which was the British Empire.
