Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera. A cracking read 👍

Text: At the top: The Sunday Times bestseller 'An absolute masterpiece' James O'Brien EMPIREWORLD 'Beautifully written, and not just a welcome corrective but a book for our times' Peter Frankopan 'Deeply poignant... riveting... brave, painful, urgent and timely.' Financial Times. 'An essential book about the legacy of empire and our braided histories.' Meera Syal 'To read Sathnam is to understand the world anew' Elizabeth Day HOW BRITISH IMPERIALISM HAS SHAPED THE GLOBE SATHNAM SANGHERA Image: The whole background is a broken white. In the middle, surrounded by all the text, a crowned lion sits on top of a globe. His posture radiates apprehension and the look on his face hints at chronic constipation.

I finally bought a copy!

I loved Empireland, so God knows what took me so long this time.

The courier seems to have stopped a few times along the way for a bit of freestyle frisbeeing but
'pristine' and 'empire' don't go together well anyway.
