This book reveals the fascinating stories, dramatic events and
colorful characters that make up the Tower of London's remarkably
long and varied history. Written from a social perspective, it
presents a fresh appraisal of this world-famous site and sets it
apart from any other available book. It offers a comprehensive
history of the fortress, from its Roman origins right up to the
present day. With over 200 color illustrations and a comprehensive
and chronological narrative divided into thematic chapters, it
conveys brilliantly the many and varied stories which make up the
Tower's history - from the menagerie and royal mint to the roll
call of its famous prisoners. The story of the Tower of London is,
in many respects, the story of England. When building work began on
the fortress, the capital was little more than a small town with no
more than 10,000 inhabitants. Almost 1,000 years later, the
fortress still stands as a symbol of royal power, pomp and
ceremony, tradition, heritage, military might, treachery and
torture. Its myriad roles are reflected in the complex series of
buildings that make up this formidable, magnificent fortress - an
iconic site that still attracts millions of visitors from across
the world each year.
