This Sceptred Isle - Twentieth Century |
At school in the 1950s even A-level history ended with the causes of World War I. This year by year account of 20th century British and world history accompanies the Radio 4 series and has plugged many gaps in my hazy knowledge of the next few decades. Wide ranging and objective. Lots of facts. Some events get one sentence, others are interpreted. Truly more unputdownable than one might believe a history book could be.
