Island Stories: An Unconventional History of Britain

Available

Description

‘Concise, elegant and lucid … A very useful primer on the delusions of an English mentality’ Guardian

What do we get wrong about Britain’s history and its place in the world?

In a brilliant, big-picture history, bestselling author David Reynolds moves beyond the Brexit debate to trace and reassess the defining narratives of Britain’s past. From fluctuating engagement with Europe to the legacies of Empire. From the Acts of Union that forged the United Kingdom to the slave trade, immigration and the special relationship. This is a vital guide to how Britain’s identity was really formed, and what long-held and often-damaging illusions we should be shaking off.
