The Shortest History of England

As James Hawes moves through time, from Caesar to Brexit, through conquests, empires and wars, he weaves a new and profound narrative of England. The island fortress is divided by a line that predates the Roman invasion; your destiny has always been linked to those of neighboring countries, whether you like it or not; and for a thousand years it has been governed by a class system unlike any other on the planet. There has never been a better time to understand why England is the way it is and there is no better guide than this.
