Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World

The read

The series ran 1 season across 6 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

How did Britain come to rule the world? asks Niall Ferguson in Empire. What would today's world be like now if it hadn't? Could such an organisation – run by, according to Winston Churchill, 'the greedy trader, the inopportune missionary, the ambitious soldier and the lying spectator' – ever have been a force for good?
