In the work the author argues that many of the world's problems were caused by the British Empire and also criticizes British culture. The book explains thru the historical facts how the British Empire was evil, and responsible for the Irish famine, the atrocities committed by the Black and Tans during the Irish War of Independence, Racism, Invention of African slavery, Genocides around the world, the Scramble for Africa, the Iraq War, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Durand Line and the Revenges of the Afghan Royal Family and their Rare Earth Elements, global warming, world poverty, the Great Plague, Islamofascism, the 19th century First and Second Opium Wars with China, the First World War and the Vietnam War. Other events the book places blame on the British Empire for include the Second World War, the fathering of the United States and the drug trade. The book argues that all of these incidents had a negative impact on the world. Other arguments made in the book involve the popularity of homosexuality among the British nobility that the King James Bible was a deliberate act of heresy, and that the Piltdown Man hoax was a deliberate attempt by British academia to prove that they were a superior race. The book also gives insight in the Victorian educational system called "Victorian Fascism", which like Hitler, prepared the "Superior British Race", to conquer the world. The American Revolution was a decisive moment that enabled America to free itself from British colonial rule and to build national and cultural identities becoming the number one power in the world. On the other hand unlike America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand de facto remain British colonies in a new empire called the Commonwealth with the British monarch as a head of these puppet "states", without the ability to develop either a cultural or national identity. One of the greatest intellectuals of the 20th century, Robert Hughes, wrote in his book "The Fatal Shore" about his country of birth: "Australia is spatially huge, culturally tiny and politically insignificant", which definitely applies to Canada and New Zealand. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_GrasseSteven Grasse (born September 19, 1964) is an American advertising executive, author, distillery owner and the founder of Quaker City Mercantile. Throughout his career, Grasse has cultivated an avant-garde image, and he was called the "punk rock prince of small-batch spirits" by Alex Halberstadt.[1] 1989–2006 Edit Grasse founded Quaker City Mercantile (formerly Gyro Worldwide), a Philadelphia-based advertising agency, in 1989.[4] In 1999, Grasse partnered with William Grant & Sons to create Hendrick's Gin.[5] Beginning in 1999, Grasse began producing Bikini Bandits, a series of short films. A feature film based on the franchise was planned to be produced by StudioCanal but was later cancelled.[6] 2007–present Edit In February 2007, Grasse founded the Coalition for British Reparations, and started a petition for the British government to pay US$58 trillion in reparations for damages he alleged the British Empire had done to the world at large. He described the petition as " performance art", stating that "It's very serious, but very cheeky".[7] Grasse authored the controversial book The Evil Empire: 101 Ways That England Ruined the World which was published on April 23, 2007.[8] In 2009, Gyro Worldwide was renamed as Quaker City Mercantile.[9] During this time, Grasse also began marketing his own brands,[10] and founded Art in the Age of Reproduction, a retail store in Philadelphia. Grasse cited Walter Benjamin's 1935 essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" with inspiring the idea behind the company. In 2016, Grasse authored Colonial Spirits: A Toast to Our Drunken History, explored the history of alcohol in Colonial America. The illustrated book included historical recipes and trivia about the history of alcohol in the United States. Grasse founded Tamworth Distillery, a New Hampshire based craft distillery, in 2018.
