This is the story of the British people, as told by a distinguished Oxford historian and now published in this extended, illustrated edition. The original book first appeared in 1971 and was quickly accepted as the most authoritative account of the history of England from before Roman occupation up to the present day. Unusually, this new edition is actually bigger than the original; not only is it illustrated with more than 230 drawings and photographs in colour and black-and-white, but expert additions have been made to give a fuller account of the recent decades and of the history of Wales and Scotland. Useful tables of the more significant dates have also been added to every chapter.

This is a book that has several uses: it can be enjoyably browsed through or, thanks to its detailed index, it can be used as a very comprehensive work of reference. But its special merit is that the reader can pick out and study each of the many strands whose grand entwining constitutes the history of Britain.
