More about the book

The narrative explores the remarkable transformation of a small North Atlantic island, once colonized by Rome and ravaged by invaders, into a dominant world power in the nineteenth century. It also traces the evolution of its colony across the Atlantic into a formidable military and cultural force in the twentieth century. This journey of power is attributed not only to warfare and industrial innovation but intriguingly, to the unifying strength of their shared language.
