THE CLASSIC HISTORY OF BRITAIN, FULLY UPDATED

Roy Strong has written an exemplary introduction to the history of Britain, as first designated by the Romans. It is a brilliant and balanced account of successive ages bound together by a compelling narrative which answers the questions: 'Where do we come from?' and 'Where are we going?'

Beginning with the earliest recorded Celtic times, and ending with the present day of Brexit Britain, it is a remarkable achievement. With his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, he is the ideal narrator. His book should be read by anyone, anywhere, who cares about Britain's national past, national identity and national prospects.

Review:
Combining an unsurpassed eye for detail with a visceral understanding of what it means to be British, Strong unfolds a saga of passionate intensity ... No one should be permitted to leave school until they have first read Sir Roy's rich, thought-provoking and indispensable book (Roger Lewis DAILY MAIL)

Our forebears had the Bible and The Pilgrim's Progress. We have Stephen Hawking and Delia Smith. This book, for British people, has that kind of status. It is an instant classic ... I have been reading it with unalloyed admiration and delight (A. N. Wilson EVENING STANDARD)

Elegantly written, beautifully illustrated and scrupulously fair ... Classic popular history (Andrew Roberts MAIL ON SUNDAY)

His narrative steams along, his judgements are sharp and generally fair ... Essential reading (Linda Colley THE TIMES)

A triumph ... The Story of Britain succeeds better than any other contemporary survey in conveying a sense of British identity (Amanda Foreman INDEPENDENT)

A must for anyone interested in history (Beryl Bainbridge SUNDAY EXPRESS Books of the Year)

A delight to read ... An admirably conceived and richly enjoyable book (Richard Davenport-Hines TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT)

A brave, lucid, lively, majestically illustrated volume (Blair Worden SPECTATOR)

Splendid ... a most enjoyable read (Michael Kerrigan SCOTSMAN)

A magnificently produced book ... that will enlighten and inform his readers about the past of the land they live in, and how we arrived at where we are today (Simon Heffer DAILY MAIL)
Book Description:
A fully updated, authoritative and exceptionally readable history of Britain from the Romans to the present.
