If you could choose the 50 things that define British history, events of significance not only in themselves, but in their importance to wider themes running through our past, what would they be? Hugh Williams has made that selection, and the result is a fascinating overview of Britain's past.             He refines British history into a series of key themes that represent a crucial strand in our history, and pinpoints the seminal events within those strands - Roots, from the Roman invasion to Britain's entry into the Common Market  Fight, Fight and Fight Again, from the Battle of Agincourt to the Falklands War  The Pursuit of Liberty, from the Magna Carta through the Glorious Revolution to the foundation of the NHS  Home and Abroad, from Sir Francis Drake and Clive of India to the arrival of the SS Empire Windrush  and All Change, from Chaucer and the English language to the invention of the jet engine.             With great clarity, simplicity and a zest for the marvellous stories that underpin many of these events, Hugh Williams explains the linkage between each one and its importance in the progress of British history as a whole.\r\n\r\n Along the way, he has some fascinating tales to tell, making this a highly enjoyable read as well as a perceptive insight into our shared past, and vital for anyone who wants quickly and enjoyably to grasp the essential facts about Britain's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
