review 1: If you ever wanted a very consise book that gives you a quick look at the history of Britain, this is it. Every page has an episode of relevance in the history of the islands and you get a basic picture of what happened through the centuries, until the end of the Second World War.No, this book won't educate you in British History properly. If you seek to study the history of Britain, this isn't the book for you. But if you seek a quick glance at the thousand years of British history, then this book will give it to you in less than 200 pages. It's also good to direct you towards the times you prefer.Say you find out that the Georgian dinasty is the one you're more into. This will give you a quick resume and place you in time for you to then do further research.Overall it's ... morea great little book. One that all countries should have about their own history.
review 2: History can be a boring subject, especially if it's long winded, but with this book readers can learn the important bits of England's history and not go comatose from boredom. The book starts England's history during the Roman Britain era 43 AD. and finishes in 1945 with the founding of The United Nations. Each important part of history is summed up neatly in one page, and a detailed timeline is also included. The only thing I would have to suggest that could be better about this book is the fact that it should include more recent history, especially since it was written in 2008, and the last entry entry is 1945. Has nothing important happened in England in the past 66 years? I don't think so. less
