Synopsis
From the earliest pre-history to 2002, Jeremy Black's narrative explores the rich historical influences on the British Isles and the varied stages through which they have passed to achieve their present identity. Giving proper weight to all four, often fractious, components of the British Isles, Black provides the reader with a balanced account - political, social, economic and cultural - of an extraordinary shared history. In the second edition of this text, each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated in the light of recent scholarship.
Customer Reviews
Comprehensive,interesting and stimulating
It is amazing how a book of this length can cover the whole history of the British Isles from pre-history to the current day and include detailed analysis of all the key events. A very readable style means you cannot put it down! Its more like a novel to read.
