Description: "Based on the research of modern historians as well as a wealth of primary source material, Churchill's popular and readable A History of the English-Speaking Peoples was respected by scholars as well as the public in its day - a testament both to its integrity as a work of historical scholarship and its accessibility to laypeople. Churchill used primary sources to masterful effect, quoting directly from a range of documents, from Caesar's invasions of Britain to the beginning of the First World War, to provide valuable insights into those figures who played a leading role in British history. In this book, the second in Winston Churchill's four-volume history, the author addresses the sixteenth and seventeenth century, guiding the reader through the turbulent times of the Protestant Reformation; the clash of the Tudors and the Stuarts; the English Civil War; and the discovery of the Americas"--Bloomsbury Publishing.
