THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS OF BRITISH AND IRISH HISTORY

Discover the pivotal political, military, and cultural events that have shaped British and Irish history - from the earliest Stone Age settlers to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Combining over 700 photographs, maps, and artworks with accessible text, History of Britain and Ireland is an invaluable resource for families, students, and anyone seeking to learn more about the fascinating story of the UK and Ireland.

Spanning six distinct periods of British and Irish history, this book is the best way to find out 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 lavishly illustrated guide places key figures - from Alfred the Great to Winston Churchill - and major events - from Roman invasion to the Battle of Britain - in their wider context, making it easier than ever to learn how they influenced Britain and Ireland's development through the age of empire and into the modern era.
