Synopsis

This book provides a sweeping account of Britain's past, from its earliest colonized beginnings through the Roman era. The author examines the lives of the indigenous people, their beliefs, their social structure, and their tragic resistance to Roman legions, who ultimately conquered much of the isle. Filled with historical accounts penned by Roman generals and officials, and the author's incisive analysis, this book tells a story of conquest and tenacity. It illuminates the origin of Britain's peoples and their courageous struggle to preserve their ancient way of life, and ultimately, how their legacy persists in the very fabric of the nation today.
