Size: 4to - 7.5" by 10" tall. Volume 1 in a three-volume history of Britain's past, published to accompany the television series "A History of Britain" first broadcast on BBC2 in 2000. 'In this volume Schama takes us from the Stone Age to the court of Queen Elizabeth I, giving new life to familiar characters. This is history with an attitude. From Viking massacres to mass slaughter at the hands of Richard I, Schama does not gloss over the nastier sides of the story, and neither does he ignore the foul deeds of the many figures who have been counted among the heroes of British history. Behind it all, he marvels at the emergence, through civil war and dynastic struggle, of the modern British state.". To understand what Britain has become it is necessary to know what it has been. Each chapter focuses on a major theme. This is a heavy book which may require extra shipping costs. .
