Publisher's summary

This is a sweeping history of Britain which answers the questions: 'Where do we come from?' and 'Where are the we going?'

When The Story of Britain was originally published to great acclaim in 1996, Andrew Roberts declared it 'classic popular history' and Antonia Fraser said 'History at its best'. Roy Strong's mission was to produce an accessible one-volume history which would clearly depict Britain's origins and explain how the past shaped our current identity.

He begins the story of Britain from the very earliest recorded Celtic times and has now brought it right up to date via the Blair years and into the present day of Brexit Britain. It is a remarkable achievement, and with his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, he is the ideal narrator. His book should be listened to by anyone, anywhere, who cares about Britain's national past, national identity and national prospects.
