"An extremely handy reference work which lays out the main themes of British history in a clear and concise manner. Perfect for those who suffer from perpetual curiosity"
"By no means academic or exhaustive, this is a book which sets out with the sole intention of telling an exciting story as accuarately as possible. And there's nothing wrong with that"
"Beautifully written and presented, this book manages to maintain the reader's interest through a political quagmire that could so easily be renered unintelligable"
