Unfinished Empire, The Global Expansion of Britain by John Darwin is 478 pages long. I’m only on page 100; and I’m really looking forward to finishing this book.
Hello hello hello, my brother and sister readers and writers from all over the world! And here’s a special shout-out to my fans in the UK.
The Old Soldier was at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh (the public library) a couple of days ago and he picked up this book by John Darwin.
All I can tell you is that if you enjoy well researched history written in tight prose that is easy for the general public to enjoy, this is the book for you.
Of course, when I read anything, I read to see what I can learn and use as a blogger, an editor, a publisher and as a writer.
The Old Soldier can tell you he is going to learn a great many useful things from this book.
