A Taste for Power

58MIN

Paxman asks how a tiny island in the North Atlantic came to rule over a quarter of the world's population. He travels to India, where local soldiers and maharajahs helped a handful of British traders to take over vast areas of land. In Egypt, Paxman explores Britain as a temporary peace-keeper whose visit turned into a seventy-year occupation.
