About
Nothing offends liberals 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. Here, 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. 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.

"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!'"

"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."
Brett M. Decker, editorial page editor of the Washington Times
"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.
