Description
The Shortest History of England by J. M. Hawes offers a fresh perspective on the English past, challenging the traditional view of a stable and independent nation. Instead, Hawes reveals a complex history shaped by conquest, empire, and war, with England's fate inextricably linked to that of its neighbours. This concise history provides a unique insight into the country's development over the past 1,000 years, including its class system, which sets it apart from other societies.
