Britain Yesterday and Today: 1830 to the Present

A History of England #4

by Walter L. Arnstein

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.

The Eighth Edition incorporates more women's history, while continuing to provide balanced political and economic coverage with social and cultural history woven throughout. 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.

[Martin Bihl · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

[Gordon Kwok · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, this book was interesting but only if you have an interest in the subject matter or if you happen to love European history.

[Abraham]

A standard text on the history of England, Britain, and the United Kingdom from the beginning of the victorian era until close to time of publication.
