A history of the British Empire from the mid-eighteenth (the Seven Years' War) through the mid-nineteenth century (the Indian Mutiny, or The Great Rebellion as Gott calls it). The author shows that the establishment of the Empire was not a simple process, was not humanitarian, and was carried out against resistance by indigenous people (in Ireland, in North America, the Caribbean, Asia, Australasia, and Africa), and by settlers. In general well written, but often superficial and often in need of editing (as shown by dates which are frequently wrong).
