A ground-breaking exploration of how British empire has shaped the world we live in today from the Plt;iPgt;Sunday Times Plt;/iPgt;bestselling author of Plt;iPgt;EmpirelandPlt;/iPgt;

2.6 billion people are inhabitants of former British colonies. The empireP#39;s influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and its gravitational influence upon the world outside it, has been profound: from the spread of Christianity by missionaries to nearly 1 in 3 driving on the left side of the road, and even shaping the origins of international law. Yet BritainP#39;s idea of its imperial history and the worldP#39;s experience of it are two very different things.

Travelling the globe to trace its international legacies - from Barbados and Mauritius to India and Nigeria and beyond - Sanghera demonstrates just how deeply British imperialism is baked into our world. And why itP#39;s time Britain was finally honest with itself about empire.
