The History Today Podcast: September 25th

In this episode, Bernard Porter discusses the British Empire, and finds that Britain's imperial reach was neither as great as once thought nor as pernicious as some historians argue.

Bernard is the author of Cutting the British Empire Down to Size, the cover story in October's History Today, which is out now.
