Fergusons most revolutionary and popular work, Empire is a major reinterpretation of the British Empire as one of the worlds greatest modernising forces. It shows on a vast canvas how the British Empire in the 19th Century spearheaded real globalisation with steampower, telegraphs, guns, engineers, missionaries and millions of settlers.
