Penguin presents the unabridged audiobook edition of Empire by Niall Ferguson, read by Jonathan Keeble.

Once vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Ferguson's acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history - and set the world on the road to modernity.

'The most brilliant British historian of his generation ... Ferguson examines the roles of "pirates, planters, missionaries, mandarins, bankers and bankrupts" in the creation of history's largest empire ... he writes with splendid panache ... and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit' Andrew Roberts

'Dazzling ... wonderfully readable' New York Review of Books

'A remarkably readable précis of the whole British imperial story - triumphs, deceits, decencies, kindnesses, cruelties and all' Jan Morris

'Empire is a pleasure to read and brims with insights and intelligence' Sunday Times

disagreed with his concluding remark but enjoyed most of the book, a must read for anyone who enjoys British history, colonial history or general reading on history of British imperialism - from beginning to the end

On British colonialism, empire and imperialism

I found the book very informative, it’s clearly written for fully formed adults who understand he nuanced realities of life. As opposed to the vocal minority who prefer dealing in absolutes, the narration was wonderful as is always the case with Jonathan Keeble.

An excellent account of British imperialism

A short and sweet moral defence and history of the world's largest empire. Excellent narrator, highly engaging and clear narrative telling stories of the empire we're no longer allowed to hear.

Superb

It’s a bit quiet but I won’t hold that against it, good performance and reasoned arguments. Quite informative but perhaps gives greater weight to economic growth as some would.

I really enjoy Jonathan Keeble’s narration. Brings so much to audio books. Another great example. I learned a lot from this book and will hear Amazing Grace with a new perspective going forward.

Excellent
