This text, which is the fourth volume in the best-selling History of England series, tells how a small and insignificant outpost of the Roman empire evolved into a nation that has produced and disseminated so many significant ideas and institutions. This is the only comprehensive text available for the History of England survey course that has been revised and updated to include coverage of the entire 20th century.
Great overview of British history in the 19th and 20th centuries. Highly relevant to current US position in the world. Many lessons to learn here. A little light on the cultural, but it can't have everything, and anyway, each chapter starts with footnotes that refer the reader to more comprehensive works on specific subjects.
