Empire

Resumen del libro

From the bestselling author of The English comes the story of the British Empire not only the way Britain influenced the world but how empire shaped Britain. Accompanies a major 6-part BBC TV series written and presented by Jeremy Paxman - one of the BBC's most expensive productions and will therefore be hugely promoted by them. Enormous public appetite for these big histories - Simon Schama's History of Britain sold 220k TCM; Andrew Marr's A History of Modern Britain sold 170k TCM - and Paxman is the perfect person to write it: vivid history, wonderful anecdotes, told in a witty and accessible style.
