More about the book

The History of Britain & Ireland traces the eventful story of the British Isles, from the first human settlements to the present day. It brings to life our battle-scarred past, including the Roman conquest, Viking invasions, civil wars, and the global conflicts of the mordern era. It also explores our rich heritage, from medieval cathedral building and the cultural renaissance of the Elizabethan age to Victorian industry and empire. Packed with authoritative information, this book is a beautifully illustrated chronicle of the defining episodes of British and Irish history.
