Chronicle of Civilizations

Chronicle of Civilizations allows you to experience all eras of English history, not just the events and high points but also the feel of what life was like in these times. Journey to the roots of a merchant nation as the Anglo-Saxon founders of England land on their homeland's verdant fields, already studded with the crumbling ruins of long-forgotten predecessors. This vivid, easy-reading survey of English history and culture presents the wars, rebellions, and political intrigues of this nation in a way that is both entertaining and engaging. The book also discusses the development of technology, ideology, and customs over time. Any American who reads this book will gain a new appreciation for how much of our own civilization we owe to the English, discussing contributions like constitutional government, soda pop, and the world's first public railway. Chronicle of Civilizations takes you from the first Anglo-Saxon settlers through the endless wars of the Middle Ages, to the great achievements of the Industrial Era, to English heroism in World War II, and through to an uncertain post-imperial future. The real-life drama of the English nation is a story you just have to read.
