description: The New World is Winston S. Churchill's brilliant re-creation of one of the most fateful periods in English and American history - the two centuries between 1485 and 1688. These were the turbulent years which saw England win her far-flung empire and defeat the might of Spain, when thousands of colonists left England's shores to journey to the new world - the years when England found herself torn by religious wars and persecutions. These were the times of the great kings and queens, of the rupture with Rome, the Puritan rebellion and Oliver Cromwell, dramatically brought to life by one of the greatest historians and statesmen of our time.
