A History Of The English Speaking Peoples Since 1900

Prize-winning British historian tells the story of how English-speaking peoples shaped the twentieth century.

Winston Churchill's 'A History of the English-Speaking Peoples' in four volumes ended in 1900. As Churchill himself wrote in the preface: 'Every nation or group of nations has its own tale to tell ... it is in the hope that contemplation of the trials and tribulations of our forefathers may not only fortify the English-speaking peoples of today, but also play some small part in uniting the whole world, that I present this account.' Inspired by the great man's example, Andrew Roberts has written the story of the 20th century - and it is in this turbulent century that the English-speaking peoples have had the greatest of all trials and tribulations.
