This remarkable book is the story of the British people and their nation. It is a book to fill in the gaps between the bits we learned at school, a reference book to keep handy when you read other history books or novels.It is about the Scottish, the Welsh and the Irish who have their own cultural differences, but who share a history - a common descent, language and value system. We are linked together by choice as the British, but how many of us know how the link came about, or how we arrived at what we are?It used to seem natural to be proud of our heritage, but we have recently become uncomfortable about it, apologising for who we are and ignoring how much we have achieved that is good.We are a nation whose system of government and way of life is envied and copied by much of the world, but we are sometimes told that nationalism equals racism and pride in our Britishness is bad. Why should that be?

The British Empire, ”the biggest empire in history”once ruled a quarter of the globe. It was built by an incredible array of swashbuckling soldiers and sailors, pirates and adventurers who finally get their due in H. W. Crocker III's panoramic and provocative view of four hundred years of history that will delight and amuse, educate and entertain. Strap on your pith helmet for a rollicking ride through some of history's most colorful events. Bet your teacher never told you: The Founding Fathers didn't rebel against British imperialism; they looked forward to the transfer of the great seat of Empire to America. The original Norman English invasion of Ireland was approved by the pope. Sir Charles Napier, commander in chief of the British Army in India, abolished the Hindu custom of widow-burning. Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templer's hearts and minds counter- insurgency strategy was instrumental in defeating the Communists in Malaya. The breakup of the British Empire led Winston Churchill to conclude that he had achieved nothing in his life.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Victoria History of the Counties of England The object of this introduction is mainly to direct the attention of contributors to certain general rules which should be scrupulously observed by them in any work they may undertake for the Victoria County History.' The essential facts to be borne in mind by every writer are (a) that the present work concerns itself with local and not with national history and (e) that as the various sections are contributed by different persons it is absolutely necessary that each writer should be most careful to confine his work strictly within the limits of his own subject. Every contributor should read the separate instructions for each section of the history, and before submitting his article to the general editors should carefully revise what he has written with a view of seeing that it has been kept within the limits of local history and has not encroached on subjects other than his own. The style adopted by all the contributors should be as concise and simple as possible and strict accuracy should be maintained. Imaginative descriptions of circumstances and scenes should be avoided. So far as possible no definite statements should be made for which some original authority cannot be given in a footnote (unless such state ments are made from personal observation). While every reasonable means should be used to clear up points of uncertainty and difficulty, if those means fail it should be stated that investigation has failed to yield the required information at the same time a suggested solution of a difficulty may be given. Difficulties should be submitted to the general editors for advice. English forms of personal names, both surnames and christian names, should as far as possible be used. With regard to these, translations of the more important Latin and French forms of those used in England will be found in Appendices Nos. IV. And V.
