As far as it goes it is absorbing, and illuminating, the book is full of anecdotes about the history of Empire, and it goes some way to reassessing the legacy of Empire, but it becomes repetitive, and pulls away sometimes from drawing the conclusions that seem to stand out from the stories he tells. In the end though he shows that imperialism has clearly shaped modern Britain, he doesnt really go deep enough into How it did/does that.
