Praise for The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the British Empire "As someone who grew up in India, I often hear people ask, 'What have the British done for us?' Until I read this book, I didn't have the full answer. And here is Crocker's answer: 'Apart from roads, railways, ports, schools, a parliamentary system of government, rights, separation of powers, checks and balances, the rule of law, and the English language... nothing!'" --Dinesh D'Souza, President of the King's College and best- selling author of The Roots of Obama's Rage " The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the British Empire offers a cautionary tale for Americans who don't believe the sun could ever set on our great land. Even the grandest nations collapse when a people no longer believes in itself or its mission. Harry Crocker's book is a jolly good read for Anglophiles and history buffs in general." --Brett M. Decker, Editorial Page Editor of The Washington Times and former Governor of the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club "H. W. Crocker's Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the British Empire is a vivid, wide-ranging and persuasive defence of an empire that spread freedom, democracy and the rule of law.... and a testimony to those old virtues--grit, leadership and the stiff upper lip--which were taught to British children of my generation, and which are being air-brushed from history by the cult of political correctness. This brave and persuasive book deserves to be read in all courses of school history: it tells an inspiring story in an inspiring way." --Professor Roger Scruton, philosopher and author of more than two dozen books, including A Political Philosophy: Arguments for Conservatism, Praise for The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the British Empire "As someone who grew up in India, I often hear people ask, 'What have the British done for us?'
