Star Wars The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire (English Edition) Format Kindle
A history of the dark times
"So this is how liberty dies—with thunderous applause."
-Senator Padmé Amidala
When Palpatine declared the birth of his new Empire, he expected it would stand for millennia. Instead, it lasted only 24 years. This is the story of how a tyrannical regime rose from the ashes of democracy, ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, and then collapsed into dust.
It is a story of war and heroes, of the power of propaganda and the dangers of complacency. But most of all, it is a story of normal people trying to live their lives in the face of a brutal dictatorship.
From the ruthlessness of Darth Vader's campaigns to the horrors of the Tarkin Initiative, this book offers fresh new insights into the dark entity at the core of Star Wars.

It's a very engrossing read, I flew through the book a lot faster than I thought I would. Mainly because I started the book, and then completely lost track of time.
I've read through several Star Wars novels, from Zahn's Thrawn trilogy (as well as a couple other Thrawn novels) to the Aftermath books. And this book ranks amongst my favourites, due in part to the unique perspective it offers readers.
It also helps that I have interacted with Dr Kempshall on social media (albeit briefly), and find him to be a pretty solid guy with an obvious care for both his own work, and the Star Wars universe.
I hope he reads this, and I hope he knows that if he ever decides to do a similar book like this for other Star Wars factions, I would be more than interested.
For fans of Star Wars, especially lore buffs like myself, it's a very worthwhile purchase.

If you are interested in political/military history and Star Wars, this book is well worth a read.
The author is a proper historian who has assumed the identity of a historian living in the time of the sequel movies who details the history of the Galactic Empire, often from different perspectives than seen in the TV shows or movies.
It presents a coherent picture of how the Empire came to power, how it worked and why it fell apart.
I really enjoyed the way it is structured as a serious academic text with endnotes at the end of each chapter that reference presumably fictional archives and interviews. At times he will reference events seen in a movie but the footnote will explain that it was referenced to an interview someone did after the war, etc.
I have read very few Star Wars books so quite a lot of story in the book was new. My understanding is he’s taken a lot of pre-existing lore but also some new stuff, and some stuff that has been taken out of the canon that he’s now re-canonized. I suppose if you’d read every Star Wars book this would be clearer but for me it meant there was plenty new.
The book goes through the history of military and political events but also explores bureaucratic structures, economics, ideology and the crimes of the Empire big and small so it gives quite a different perspective.

Readers who aren't very familiar with all the minutiae of Star Wars would enjoy the book. However, it includes a few winks that those well-versed in the franchise will appreciate. (A particular comment about boots comes to mind.)
I would unreservedly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan.
