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
