And what even is an empire, anyway?This book will answer all the important questions about Britain''s imperial history. It will explore how Britain''s empire once made it the most powerful nation on earth, and how it still affects our lives in many ways today - from the words we use, to the food we eat, the sports we play and even to every grown-up''s fixation with a good cup of tea.Because how can we ever make the world a kinder, better place for the future, if we don''t know the truth about the past?I''ve resisted suggestions that I write a kids'' book on empire on the grounds that I didn''t Trade ReviewSomething that really comes across in the book is Sanghera's faith in young people...to form their own judgements about the British Empire. * The Bookseller *Conversational...with humour that feels ideally pitched to the older children it is aimed at. * The Financial Times *Stolen History is the perfect book for every school. All our young people need to know the truth about the British Empire.

Stolen History will inform a whole generation. Parents should read it too! * Corinne Fowler, Professor of Colonialism and Heritage, University of Leicester *Stolen History is a truly remarkable achievement: an historically accurate, diligently researched and nuanced account of the British Empire that is also gripping for younger readers. I know of no other writer who could have accomplished such a feat. * Professor Alan Lester FRHistS, Professor of Historical Geography and Professor of History, La Trobe University *Sanghera brilliantly demonstrates that history doesn't have to be dumbed down to be made accessible, nor does it need to be sensationalized to seem relevant. Written with integrity and a deep commitment to reveal how the past has shaped our present, the book will make young readers engage with history as more than just entertainment and it will encourage them to ask new questions. * Kim A.

Book SynopsisWe the people at Who HQ bring readers the full story--arguments and all--of how the United States Constitution came into being. Signed on September 17, 1787--four years after the American War for Independence--the Constitution laid out the supreme law of the United States of America. Today it's easy for us to take this blueprint of our government for granted. But the Framers--fifty-five men from almost all of the original 13 states--argued fiercely for many months over what ended up being only a four-page document. Here is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the hotly fought issues--those between Northern and Southern States; big states and little ones--and the key players such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington who suffered through countless revisions to make the Constitution happen.
