A bestseller, now with extended coverage of modern British history and Britain's past brought right up to date. This book is a riotous, irreverent account of the people and events that have shaped Britain. Always get those kings and queens confused? Never sure what happened when? You need this book. Inside you'll find rip-roaring stories of power-mad kings, executions, invasions, high treason, global empire-building, and forbidden love not bad for a nation of stiff upper lips. Praise for British History For Dummies : It puts the history of Britain into the sort of perspective I've always hoped for. - Terry Jones, Monty Python star and co-author of Who Murdered Chaucer? Honestly you can't beat British History For Dummies. - Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe novels. The book provides information on famous and infamous Britons; key royal, military, and cultural eras; power in Britain: who lost it, who took it; the rise and fall of Britain's global empire; and, the history as it connects to Britain today.
