Celtic Revolution by Simon Young
We think of the Greeks and Romans as important to the modern world, while we romantically see the Celts as a people living on the fringes in Ireland, Cornwall Scotland and France, faced with extinction. This title shows how the Celtic Empire ruled the world from Spain to Egypt for 2000 years in a way that drew the blue print for today's Europe.
