well done

All of the Captivating History book series brings new information. This book on England is very detailed & covers all one would want to know about everything England, A wealth of information here. Great job Captivating History !!!!!

Really great!

This book explains the complicated machinations of multiple rulers trying to take over England that ended with the Norman Conquest. After Richard (the Lion-Heart) died, England was unhappy with the rule of his younger brother, John. Finally, the Archbishop of Canterbury interceded to formalize a contract between the king and his people. The result was the Magna Carta...... Really great!

I recommend this book.

I wish I had this book when I was taking Western Civilization the part I was learning about the history of England. This book, while ambitious in scope, does a good job of summarizing the history of England. I recommend this book.

This is a concise history

This is a concise history, brief but it covers the highlights. If more details are needed then there are plenty of other books of history that covers various eras of British history.

I was very impressed by what I listen to.

I was very impressed by what I listen to. As always with every book from Captivating History, I discover something new.

Awesome!

Essentially a potted history of the Western world from 1837 to 1901 with early emphasis on the personal life of Queen Victoria of England. The table of contents includes sanitation/bacteriology, Egypt/the Suez Canal, cults/spiritism, poverty and even Jack the ripper, plus a lot more. Although the narrative centers on England and the British Empire, much of the Western world was affected by events begun there.

A very informative book on the history of England.

A very informative book on the history of England. Really helpful and interesting. Thank you, sir!

Awesome!

The rest of this book mentions the important points of English life: Black Death, the Tudor Dynasty, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I. While Elizabeth tried her hand at British colonies in the New World, she hedged her bets by giving a charter to English trade to establish the East India Company. Eventually, this would lead to unparalleled wealth in England.

This book is a really good

This book is a really good introduction to the history of England. English history is a very well known and studied topic, but the way this book approaches it is a new and refreshing point of view.

well done sir!

This book explains the Neolithic Revolution in England; the change from hunters and gatherers to more settled agricultural pursuits. As Britons created urban centers and burial chambers for important dead citizens, they became more autonomous and wealthy (they were rich in resources). That brought jealous Europeans, hoping to steal their goods. This book helps me a lot.
