No major battle has taken place on British soil since the Battle of
Culloden in 1746. Almost three centuries of the absence of war on
the island has generated a complacency which blinds us to the
horrific violence and bloodshed which raged on these isles for over
1,700 years. For many younger people, war is a seeming anachronism,
a reminder of an unsophisticated, almost barbaric past. For other
people, our military history recalls more glorious days, when
British military skill helped to establish a vast overseas empire.
Martin Wall examines our long and blood-soaked history from the
Roman invasions until modern times. This is by no means just a
story of honour, courage and glory, but of the terrible suffering
war has caused through the centuries - and the epigenetic trauma it
has bequeathed us, which continues to influence our national
culture even today.
