Empire: How Britain Made The Modern World by Niall Ferguson
3.0
This book provides the historical tale of how the empire was built in the three hundred years to the Second World War and the decline which followed, as well as concluding with comments on the current world order.
The book had some interesting gems of information scattered throughout, which were interesting and enlightening. However, it would perhaps have been a more pleasurable read had it been laid out in chronological order, particularly in the earlier chapters, which described how the Empire was in its early development.
Not a bad book but I'm sure that there are better historical books out there which present the same information in a more captivating manner.
