By J. P. Kenyon

FROM THE PREFACE: “This book covers the history of the British Isles and its overseas possessions from the Roman conquest until 1970. The three thousand or so articles encompass domestic political and social events, foreign affairs, and major cultural and scientific developments, together with the men or women who have influenced or been influenced by the multifarious events that make up a country's history. The alpha- betical arrangement of the main body of the book is complemented by a Chronology - a year-by-year survey of events in British history and of major developments on the Continent and in America (shown in italic type).”
