A History of the British Isles (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)

From the earliest pre-history to 2002, Jeremy Black's narrative explores the rich historical influence of the British Isles and the varied stages through which they have passed to achieve their present identity. Giving proper weight to all four, often fractious, components of the British Isles, Black provides the reader with a balanced account political, social, economic and cultural of an extraordinary shared history. In the second edition of this text, each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated in the light of recent scholarship.
