The Lion's Share: A Short History of British Imperialism, 1850-1995 Book

Really good book on British Imperialism, it is very well written and easy to read. Uses a number of primary and secondary resources, with many quotations from important figures during the height of british imperialism (1901). there was a good use of maps which i find useful, and finally a good use of figures and stats to support Bernard Porters point. My only real criticism will be that Porter does expect the reader to know, or have some general knowledge of british imperialism which does help as porter goes deep into different places around the empire which some readers may start confusing. Overall it is a great book and should be read to seal any doubts of what imperialism is and what it stood for.
