British History For Dummies by Sean Lang
This is an irreverent account of the people and events that have shaped Britain. Always got those kings and queens confused? Never sure what happened when? Inside you'll find stories of power-mad kings, executions, invasions, high treason, global empire-building, and forbidden love.
"..packed with behind the scenes knowledge..." (Shields Gazette, December 2003) "...The most user-friendly history book around...behind the jokey chapter headings there's a serious amount of information..." (Daily Express, 20 February 2004)
