Product Description
Gwyn Alf Williams
"...takes hold of their history in a human compass and with real power...
Book Description
This uniquely comprehensive illustrated history of Wales was first published in Welsh and was an immediate best-seller. Lucidly written and with a masterful organisation of material, it has proved a classic.
Now in a new century, mere devolution is slowly but surely moving towards full Welsh statehood. Brilliantly and passionately, this book explains why this is not only desirable-but the inevitable product of Welsh history.

This is an excellent book, well written and covering so much of the Welsh peoples history from 'day 1'. Much of this writers history follows the history of the Welsh language, and obviously 'loses his way' a little in the more modern history as this began to fade from Welsh culture and life in the major cities and Towns.
A more recent recovery of the language in popularity may well provide a fresh writer with better threads to link to the present Wales and Welsh life and culture.

Being a proud Welshman and realising that I knew very little about the history of Wales I looked for a book on that theme. I discovered this one on Amazon. Some books are just written in a way that you cannot put them down and this book is certainly in that category. It seems that I knew even less than I thought. Now I understand the way that we think as a nation and we are truly as our national anthem says a "land of poets and singers"

This book is certainly an educational and interesting read, but one must question the un-needed slagging off of the English in it, given that their part in the history is quite small in comparison to the rest of our history.
