From the Inside Flap:
The British Isles, it is often believed, have not been invaded for nearly a thousand years. Norman Longmate reveals in this fascinating book that foreign soldiers have landed on British soil on many occasions. This definitive study weaves original sources into an enthralling narrative with facts about weapons, ships, armies and fortresses - spiced with anecdote, ranging over international, political, military and naval history. It is an exciting story that shows how, against all odds, the British managed to retain their freedom from the days of James I to those of George VI.
From the Back Cover:
“A fine, old-fashioned drum-beating history.” – Piers Brendon
