Summary

If ever a history book were a tract for the times, it is The Isles: A History ... a masterwork..' Roy Porter, The Times

'A book which really will change the way we think about our past … marvellously rich and stimulating' Noel Malcolm, Evening Standard

'A historiographical milestone.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times

'The full shocking force of this book can only be appreciated by reading it.' Andrew Marr, Observer
