An Illustrated History of Britain
David McDowall1989

An Illustrated History of Britain traces the development of the nation from prehistoric times to the present day. It looks at British history not merely in terms of kings, queens and battles, but also emphasises economic, social and intellectual forces and how these affected the everyday lives of people from different sections of society.

It is a history of Britain, not just of England. It looks at major developments within Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well as their relations with England.
