Why listen to The Politically Incorrect Guides?
Ray Porter narrates, and argumentative nonfiction needs precisely this kind of assured delivery: a voice that can carry a provocative thesis without either apologising for it or hectoring you. In audio, a polemic becomes a debate you conduct with the narrator in your head, and that running argument is half the entertainment.Each guide in this series tackles its own subject, so the British Empire entry is a perfectly sensible place to start, and the only one we hold besides. At eleven hours it is a focused listen rather than an epic. It suits listeners who like their history with a point of view and their assumptions challenged, and it is best approached knowing that provocation is the format, not an accident.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
I approach books that advertise their own incorrectness with one eyebrow raised, so take my verdict in that spirit. The numbers are honest: 4.5 from 223 ratings is a strong and adequately sized sample, and Ray Porter is a narrator who elevates whatever he reads. Whether the argument persuades you will depend entirely on where you stand before pressing play, and I suspect the book knows that. As a listening experience it delivers; as history, bring your own scepticism.
