Outposts. Journeys to the surviving relics of the British Empire. Simon Winchester. 1985, 2003. ISBN 9780061978326.
Older but still a useful look at the remnants of the British Empire. Some hilarious exploits and some that just seemed damned foolish. Fairly kind to the inhabitants. I learned lots about ports like Gibraltar, St Helena, Diego Garcia, And more , Some I had been to (Falklands) but most I won’t. Thanks Ean Jackson for tipping me off to this!
