A really good read about the history of Britain / British Empire. This book doesn't go into much detail and is entirely focussed around a light-hearted take the piss out of the things we did, but it is written by a comedian. It's actually why I enjoyed it so much, James portrays the crimes exactly as they were but in small bite-sized chunks which were ideal for readers like me who have a short attention span, get easily distracted and read once in a blue moon.

I enjoyed this a lot, easy to read and easy to learn. Britain's history is horrific and we continue to be an absolute bellend on the world stage. It's a nice introduction to Britain's bellendry and should be taught in schools.

Part Horrible Histories, part QI. With more swearing. Perfectly cromulent.

Sweary history that takes responsibility for all the things we Brits like to gloss over? 10/10 no notes.
