Journeys of empire : British voyages that changed the world forever - and the rebels who resisted / Sathnam Sanghera.

London : Puffin, 2025.

208 pages ; 20 cm

Juvenile.

The British empire is the biggest thing we ever did as a country. Bigger than winning both World Wars, bigger than winning any number of World Cups in any number of sports, bigger than inventing James Bond, Peppa Pig and Lord of the Rings combined. Yet, we don't talk about it much. And it's barely taught in schools. But how do we even begin to tell this massive story? Satham Sanghera tells us all about the empire through the epic and monumental journeys that shaped it. From the rebellious pirate queen who sailed the seas on perilous adventures, to the tragic true story of Pocahontas, and Gandhi's extraordinary Salt March, this collection of 10 journeys takes readers on a voyage through Britain's imperial history, and shows how it continues to impact the entire world today.
