Covering over 2,000 years in under 200 pages, Jeremy Black takes
the reader on a breathless tour of British history, providing
invaluable context for students of any period. A truly British
overview, this book covers all four constituent parts of the UK, as
well as migration to and from Britain, and introduces questions of
national identity and collective memory. The author begins by
considering how the geography of Britain has influenced its
development and goes on to examine the formation of its society and
political culture. Resisting the Whiggish tradition of triumphalist
national histories, Jeremy Black provides a balanced and sensitive
account in his trademark pithy style. This new edition has been
considerably revised and expanded, bringing the coverage right up
to the present day, including what the Scottish referendum on
independence says about the nature of modern 'Britishness'.
