A useful summary of British (and sometimes a bit more worldwide) history setting in date context lots of those events you've heard about but don't really know where they fit it. Probably a bit boring for someone with good historical knowledge, but useful for someone like me who had to give history up aged 12. However, I would have liked it to have an index to make it easier to look up specific events after the first read through as the only way to refind them at present is to have a rough idea of date and then scan through.

This is a whistle-stop tour through 2,000 years of our nation's story from the Roman invasion to the Falklands War. Setting out the wide sweep of British history that is often ignored, historian George Chamier weaves together a reader-friendly combination of key dates with linking narrative. Here are all our good Kings and usurpers, low dealings and acts of heroism, moments of great conquest, empire or defeat - and through it all the story of the formation of the United Kingdom. All told in lively and amusing short chapters, this is the perfect book for the person who can never quite remember the key dates in British history or feels exasperated that their friends and family are so ignorant of British history.
