Title: British history for dummies
Description: A stirring trip through the essentials of British History.   Britain's past brought right up to date.

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.   Discover:      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    History as it connects to Britain today
