Synopsis
This study recounts the history of the British Isles, from the perspective of its defenders, in a narrative which stretches from the Celtic tribes who fought unsuccessfully against Caesar to the great sea-borne defence against the Armada. Drawing on a blend of military, social and diplomatic history, the text covers the panorama of Celtic and Roman history, the Dark Ages, Saxon and Viking invasions, the Norman Conquest and the Plantagenet and Tudor periods. Norman Longmate has been the historical advisor to film and television companies and has also written "How We Lived Then", "If Britain Had Fallen" and "The Bombers".

From the Inside Flap
In a brilliantly imaginative blend of military, social and diplomatic history, Norman Longmate retells Britain's island story from the perspective of its defenders in a narrative stretching from the Celtic tribes who fought against Caesar to the great seaborne defence against Philip of Spain's Armada. Solidly researched fact is seasoned with lively, humorous and occasionally gruesome anecdote, resulting in an invaluable source-book for the specialist and an enthralling narrative for the general reader.
