The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire offers a cautionary tale for Americans who don't believe the sun could ever set on our great land. Even the grandest nations collapse when a people no longer believes in itself or its mission. Harry Crocker's book is a jolly good read for Anglophiles and history buffs in general., As someone who grew up in India, I often hear people ask, 'What have the British done for us?' Until I read this book, I didn't have the full answer. And here is Crocker's answer: 'Apart from roads, railways, ports, schools, a parliamentary system of government, rights, separation of powers, checks and balances, the rule of law, and the English language...nothing!', H. W. Crocker's Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire is a vivid, wide-ranging, and persuasive defense of an empire that spread freedom, democracy, and the rule of law...and a testimony to those old virtues--grit, leadership, and the stiff upper lip--which were taught to British children of my generation, and which are being air-brushed from history by the cult of political correctness. This brave and persuasive book deserves to be read in all courses of school history: it tells an inspiring story in an inspiring way., A one-stop shop for telling us all we should have learned about that empire and precisely how much we owe it.

Synopsis
Nothing offends liberals and leftists more than Western imperialism--it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, the biggest empire the world has ever known, covering at its height a quarter of the globe's surface and ruling a quarter of the world's population. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire , bestselling author H. W. Crocker III exposes--in brawling, rambunctious style--how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history. In this new PI Guide listeners will discover: -How, far from being anti-imperialists, America's colonists were more British than the British--demanding their rights as Englishmen and envisioning a continent-wide empire (a word the Founders used with approval) -How Gandhi praised the British Empire for what it had done for India -How the British Empire handled today's troubled hot spots--like Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan -What the world would be like if the British Empire were still governing a quarter of the globe--hint: everyone would be a lot better off So strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of history's most colorful events. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the British Empire provides a panoramic and provocative view of four hundred years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain.
