Overview: Niall Ferguson examines the rise and global reach of the British Empire, one of the most powerful forces in shaping the modern world. He challenges both its admirers and its critics by weighing the costs and benefits of imperial dominance across centuries.
The book traces how Britain spread its institutions, commerce, and military might across continents—creating networks of trade, governance, and culture that left profound legacies. Ferguson acknowledges the darker elements of exploitation and violence but argues that the empire also laid foundations for globalization, democracy, and economic progress.
With vivid storytelling and historical insight, Ferguson presents a sweeping account of how Britain’s empire transformed societies, reshaped geopolitics, and set the stage for the modern era.
