SHORTEST HISTORY OF ENGLAND (PB)

In The Shortest History of Germany, James Hawes told the story of a nation in 240 pages full of eye-opening maps and images. Now the author of Speak for England and Englanders and Huns takes the same approach to his homeland. As he journeys from Caesar to Brexit via Conquest, Empire and World War, he discovers an England rather different to the standard vision. There has never been a more necessary time to understand why England is the way it is, and there is no better guide.
