In "The Politically Incorrect Guide[trademark] 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 the world has ever known. 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 this new "P.I.G." readers 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; and, 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[trademark] to the British Empire" provides a panoramic and provocative view of four hundred years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain.
