The Shortest History of England

| book description |

How the most powerful country in the UK was forged by invasion and conquest, and how it is fractured by its north-south divide. England - begetter of parliaments and globe-spanning empires, star of beloved period dramas, and home of the House of Windsor - is not quite the stalwart island fortress that many of us imagine. Riven by an ancient fault line that predates even the Romans, its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbours; and for the past millennia, it has harboured a class system like nowhere else. There has never been a better time to understand why England is the way it is â€“ and there is no better guide. With over 100 illustrations, maps and charts. Over 150 000 sold internationally.
