Description

'British Battles: 825 to the Present' is a Quality Pocket Book (A6), that takes the reader on an action-packed journey through British history stopping off to examine the major battles in which Britain, and before it England, have played a part.

From Anglo-Saxon stands against invading Vikings, through dynastic civil wars, to European quests for empire and two deadly world wars, to the modern global war on terror - this handy book travels all over the world to reveal how modern Britain and empire were formed through its clashes, conflicts and confrontations. Find out who the last monarch from the British Isles was to die in battle, where the 'two fingered' salute emanated, when did the 'longbow' defeat the rival 'crossbow', who defeated an army of 40,000 in 40 minutes and who pledged to 'Battle in Brussels for Britain' and much more.

A comprehensive and accessible collection to discover how battles are the tools of monarchs and politicians alike to defend, assert power, colonise or protect, this book gives the reader an ideal route into the most significant battles in British history.

As is now tradition with the White on Black brand, a donation from each sale will be given to UNICEF.
