From the bestselling historian and creator of Horrible Histories comes a witty, whistlestop tour through the history of Britain (for grown-ups).
Britain and the British have a proud history of choosing their enemies, from the Romans to the Germans.
The surprisingly sadistic Boudica would be forgotten if it weren’t for the Ninth Legion, Elizabeth I a minor royal without the Spanish Armada, and Churchill an opposition windbag without the Nazis. Britain loves its heroes so much we have been known to pickle them in brandy to keep them fresh. And after all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit.
