The Welsh: The Biography tells the story of the remarkable survival
of the oldest nation and oldest language in Europe. We see how the
four original major Celtic tribes are still reflected in the
location of Britain's four oldest cathedrals, and how after one and
a half millennia of constant invasions and eventual conquest, the
Welsh retained their sense of nationality. The story of the Welsh
is one of defending the nation against overwhelming odds, and of a
major contribution to European literature. Its tenth century laws
are acknowledged as the most progressive in the world until the
later twentieth century. Almost uniquely in the world, Wales has
had heroines as well as heroes, princesses as well as princes who
contributed to its progress. Wales has given heroes such as Owain
Glyndwr who are recognised across the globe, and men such as David
Lloyd George, to whom Hitler attributed the winning of First World
War. The character of the Welsh - their pacifism, literary
abilities and influence - is splendidly described in this unique
history of the Welsh as a people.
