Auke de Haan: The History of the UK, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From Roman occupation to the present day, the United Kingdom has been shaped by centuries of conquest, political innovation, empire, and social change. The History of the UK tells the story of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland from their earliest recorded histories through the formation of the modern union and beyond. It is a sweeping account of one of the world's most historically influential nations.

The book covers the key turning points that defined the British Isles: the Norman Conquest, Magna Carta, the Tudor dynasty, the English Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, the height of the British Empire, and the social transformations of the twentieth century. Written for a broad readership, it balances political narrative with cultural and social history, giving full weight to all four nations of the union. Readers will come away with a solid grounding in how modern Britain came to be.
