Perhaps because of the Roman empire. Or maybe even the Star Wars films.But what about the British Empire? Why don''t we learn much about this? 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.

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.
