An authoritative and sweeping history of Britain from the Romans to the present day—in a newly revised edition for the next generation of readers.
The Story of Britain is an accessible one-volume history that clearly depict Britain's origins—and explain how the past shaped the nation's current identity. He begins the story of Britain from the very earliest recorded Celtic times, and with this new edition has now brought it up to date via the Blair years and into the present day of Brexit Britain. A magnificently eloquent volume, the narrative chronicles two thousand years of Britain's history, the triumph of its people, the glory of its culture, and its dramatic influence on other nations of the world, especially the United States. It is a remarkable achievement and, with his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, Strong is the ideal narrator. The book is ideally suited for everyone who cares about Britain's past.

还不错,应该是挑着读的,用很简单的语言描写了很复杂的历史。英国王权一直很强大,是贵族的不断反抗才限制了王权,使国王不得胡作非为,这是经过反复斗争的结果,民主是打出来的
