Britons by Linda Colley
Recounts how a new British nation was invented in the wake of the Act of Union between England and Wales and Scotland in 1707. Colley describes how a succession of major wars with Catholic France served as both a threat and a tonic, forcing the peoples of Britain into a closer union.
