«Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World» is the historical essay by Niall Ferguson, published by Penguin Group in paperback (422 pages, in English).
Niall Ferguson explains how a small island in the North Atlantic created the greatest empire in history and why it went into decline. The essay shows the modernising role of the British Empire in the nineteenth century, a driver of globalisation through steam, the telegraph, weapons, engineers, missionaries and millions of settlers.
The work is framed in modern history and imperialism, and was nominated for the Arthur Ross Book Award in 2004.
For fans of political and economic history, and of studies on the British Empire and colonialism.
