Description
A History of Britain - Volume 2 The British Wars 1603-1776 by Simon Schama This second volume of Simon Schama's epic three-volume journey into Britain's past is a compelling chronicle of the changes that transformed every strand and stratum of British life, faith and thought from 1603 to 1776. The British Wars is a story of revolution and reaction, inspiration and disenchantment, of progress and catastrophe, brought vividly to life by Schama's evocative narrative. Over the course of 200 years, battles raged on both at home and abroad, on sea and on land, across Europe, America and India. From the beginning of the British wars in July 1637, these conflicts were driven by a complex mix of political and religious convictions, as well as the pursuit of profit. This narrative explores the forces that tore Britain apart during a period of dynamic change, shaping the country's outlooks, allegiances and boundaries.
