The Illustrated History of Britain

Viac o knihe

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 the 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.
