This concise and engaging book tells the story of a group of islands, their peoples, and their impact on the rest of the world. It provides an insight into how the British Isles came to be as we know them, from the Roman invasion, through the Middle Ages, the Glorious Revolution, two World Wars and into the twenty-first century. Equal attention is paid to England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, as Jeremy Black gives a balanced and absorbing narrative of their extraordinary shared past, in terms of economic, cultural and political histories. This fourth edition brings their history right up to the present day, covering recent social and political developments, as well as fresh historiography.
