  1. Aadira A Nambi

    An interesting perspective on the Empire, although it glosses over some of the darker aspects.

  2. Khushbu Yadav

    Readable but shallow. More of an overview than an in-depth study. Good starting point, though.

  3. Suraj Upadhyay

    A good read, but somewhat uneven in quality. Some chapters were more compelling than others. Still worth a look.

  4. K R Ajaykumar

    Five stars! An excellent and engaging account of the British Empire. Very insightful and well-written.

    Superb! Paxman’s insights are sharp and his writing is witty. Highly recommended.

    Not bad, but not great either. A fairly average history book. I’ve read better.

    Well-written and researched. I learned a lot about the Empire. Some of the author’s opinions felt biased.

    Brilliant! Paxman’s storytelling is superb. A fascinating exploration of a complex period in history.

  12. Utkarsh

    Paxman’s wit shines through, but sometimes the narrative felt a bit too broad. Overall, an interesting overview of the Empire.

  13. Parth Jain

    Mediocre. Didn’t really offer anything new. A fairly standard account of the British Empire.

    Wonderful book! Paxman brings history to life. A pleasure to read.

    Informative and engaging. The book offered a balanced view of the Empire. Highly recommended.

    A good introduction to the topic, though I wished for more depth on certain aspects. Paxman’s style is engaging.
