A People's History
Sir Roy Strong, author, broadcaster, former Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum, tells the story of Britain form the very earliest recorded Celtic times to the present day. And, in reaction against the current presentation of history as illustrated double-page spreads arranged by subject, he tells the story as a continuous narrative, in chapters which give meaning and point to every period with which they deal. It is a tremendous story, and Roy Strong, with his passionate enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, is the ideal person to tell it.
Superbly illustrated with over 300 pictures in full colour and black and white, The Story of Britain will be a standard work for many, many years to come.
