Illuminating * Nigella Lawson *
Accessible whilst imparting broad knowledge, appealingly pitched but deeply serious, this historically rigorous book is a must-read for any child who wants to know the basic facts of empire but also to gain an accurate sense of the wide variety of colonial activities which happened during four centuries of British colonial rule. Stolen History will inform a whole generation. Parents should read it too! * Corinne Fowler, Professor of Colonialism and Heritage, University of Leicester *
Stolen History is a truly remarkable achievement: an historically accurate, diligently researched and nuanced account of the British Empire that is also gripping for younger readers. I know of no other writer who could have accomplished such a feat. * Professor Alan Lester FRHistS, Professor of Historical Geography and Professor of History, La Trobe University *
Sanghera brilliantly demonstrates that history doesn't have to be dumbed down to be made accessible, nor does it need to be sensationalized to seem relevant. Written with integrity and a deep commitment to reveal how the past has shaped our present, the book will make young readers engage with history as more than just entertainment and it will encourage them to ask new questions. * Kim A. Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, School of History Queen Mary, University of London *
