Spanning six distinct periods of British and Irish history, this book is the best way to discover how Britain was transformed under Norman rule, fought two world wars in the 20th century, and faced new economic challenges in the 21st century. Fully revised and updated, this guide places key figures - from Alfred the Great to Winston Churchill - and major events - from the Roman invasion to the Battle of Britain - in their wider context, making it easier to learn how they influenced Britain and Ireland's development through the age of empire and into the modern era.
