A stirring trip through the essentials of British History.

Britain's past brought right up to date.

This book is a riotous, irreverent account of the people and events that have shaped Britain.  It's a "who, what, when, where and why" that reads like a thriller and a comedy rolled into one.  Inside  you'll find rip-roaring stories of power-mad kings, executions, invasions, high treason, global empire-building and forbidden love - not bad for a nation of stiff upper lips.

Discover:

  • Famous and infamous Britons
  • Key royal, military and cultural eras
  • Power in Britain: who lost it, who took it
  • The rise and fall of Britain's global empire
  • History as it connects to Britain today
