Description
Britain was not given. It was fought for.
From the Roman invasion to the defeat at Culloden, the story of Britain is written on its battlefields. 90 Battles That Shaped Britain takes you across 1,700 years of conflict - from shield walls at Brunanburh to longbows at Towton, muskets at Naseby, and cannon fire at Culloden.
These are not just military encounters but turning points: moments when crowns were won or lost, borders redrawn, rebellions crushed, or new identities forged. Discover how England was born at Brunanburh, how the Normans transformed the realm at Hastings, how Bannockburn secured Scotland’s independence, and how the Jacobite dream ended in blood at Culloden.
Drawing on archaeology, chronicles, and memory, this book reveals how battles shaped parliaments, monarchies, and nations. Each chapter asks not only what happened but what if - showing how the fate of Britain often hung on a single field, a single hour, a single decision.
Accessible yet authoritative, vivid yet grounded in evidence, 90 Battles That Shaped Britain is essential reading for anyone interested in British history, warfare, or the forces that forged a nation
