The Time Team Guide to the History of Britain

We all know that the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, London's 'one big burning blaze' tore through the capital in 1666 and that Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939, but many of us remember the most important moments in our history by the folk stories which are attached to them. Here, Tim Taylor and the team of expert historians behind Channel 4's Time Team catalogue British history in a way that is accessible to all. This book will give you and your family a clear and concise view of what happened when, and why.
