Review
No one covers as much ground in such a thoroughly readable manner. --Lynn Schibeci, University of New Mexico
These three volumes constitute the best value in British history textbooks currently available. They are as up-to-date in their attention to the Celtic experience of British history as in that of the English. And the level of coverage they provide makes them equally serviceable as principal texts in introductory-level surveys or as supporting texts for upper-level courses. --Simon Devereaux, University of Queensland
Discription
