Synopsis

Fully illustrated, information-packed exploration of British history from Neolithic times to the present day.

Arranged in eight self-contained sections, each dealing with a major historical period, making it extremely accessible. A pleasure to dip into and simple to look up any subject that interests you from stone circles to the Battle of Britain.

Timelines provide helpful chronological reference and are a handy addition to the text.
Conveniently arranged in eight sections, each dealing with a major historical period - chapters include:

Prehistoric Britain;
Roman Britain;
Invaders and Settlers;
Medieval Britain;
Early Britain;
Georgian Britain;
Victorian Britain;
The Twentieth Century and Beyond.

Covers both well-known historical events such as the Norman invasions and the execution of Charles I, and lesser-known details like the uprisings in Dark Age Wales and the birth of tabloid newspapers in Victorian Britain. More than 150 illustrations and photographs bring the text to life.
