A Short History of England by Simon Jenkins

2.0

If you're looking for a history of England which will leave you in no doubt of the author's political sympathies, this is it. His disdain for Scotland, Wales and Ireland (referred to throughout as the troublesome "Celtic Fringe"), is apparent throughout, and he still seems to be a bit annoyed at the US becoming a greater power than England (he clearly thinks of the US as England's ungrateful child). You can't finish without feeling pretty confident this man has voted Tory all his life and was pro Brexit.
