2000 Years Of English History By Those Who Saw It Happen.
Fountainhead of democracy, engine of the Industrial Revolution, epicentre of the globe's greatest empire and the first-ditch stand against an expansionist Germany in two world wars: England's history is among the most fascinating and influential the world has ever known. This volume presents that history in unique form: first-hand, through the words of those who saw it and those who made it. All the great events of the last 2,000 years are here: the Norman Conquest, Magna Carta, the Peasants' Revolt, Henry VIII's break with Rome, the Great Fire of London, Nelson at Trafalgar, two world wars.
Presented chronologically and a joy to read whether cover-to-cover or dipped into as a treasury of sources, 'England: The Autobiography' offers an intimate, vivid and revealing portrait of England and the English - and the unique place of both in world history.
