Three Books by Niall Ferguson on the British and American Empire
-
Though his assessments of America and Great Britain lack candor about his relationship with and the function of the private oligarchy that actually has operated and funded both the British Empire and then the British-American Empire lurk behind the nation state facades, these three books offer a lot of interesting facts, if one is game to read between the lines.

I especially appreciated the middle one listed above.
