Description
The Tower of London has been at the heart of Britain's story for almost a thousand years. This mighty stronghold has played many roles - castle, prison, torture chamber, execution site, zoo, mint, treasure house, armoury, and observatory - and has witnessed dramatic, bloody, and often cruel events. Nigel Jones's history portrays the Tower not just as an ancient structure, but as a living symbol of the nation. By setting this story firmly in the context of national and international events, Jones sheds new light on the Tower's significance and its enduring place in British history. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of Britain's most iconic landmarks, revealing the complex and often contradictory nature of the Tower's past.
