A great combination of lively writing and painfully accurate history easily digested in an evening。 All those flag shaggers pontificating about sovereignty and how they personally liberated Western Europe at the end of the second world war need to read this， particularly around Britain's role in drug wars， concentration camps， and recompensing slave owners rather than slaves at the end of slavery。Jingoistic notions of British exceptionalism and misguided notions of a benign British Empire have b A great combination of lively writing and painfully accurate history easily digested in an evening。 All those flag shaggers pontificating about sovereignty and how they personally liberated Western Europe at the end of the second world war need to read this， particularly around Britain's role in drug wars， concentration camps， and recompensing slave owners rather than slaves at the end of slavery。Jingoistic notions of British exceptionalism and misguided notions of a benign British Empire have been fostered by populist demagogues like Johnson。Britain may have done some good things， but we also did some bad things - in the case of the Indian famine even while we were doing good thigs （helping to defeat Hitler） we were doing bad things （letting millions die）。 If we cannot critically examine our own pasts as nations and as people， then we deny ourselves the scope for growth and instead fall into the hubris of unthinking pride。Brexit is daily proof of the peril of thinking it is enough just to "be British" and the rest of the world will do as we desire。 。。。more

a great， educational read whittled in with comedy because Brits will refuse to admit their faults， let alone read a book about them， unless there’s a catchy title and a cartoon drawing of a dick on the front
