New Book on the History of England

"This lady is not for turning", Margaret Thatcher once said about herself - and somehow this also applies to England. Hannes Ziegler tells the story of English history from the Middle Ages to the post-Brexit present and shows how much this history differs from that of continental Europe through the early formation of constitutional law, the development of modern statehood and an empire in which the sun never set at times. England stands for great parliamentary and monarchical traditions, risk-taking inventiveness, rigid capitalism and a cash-strapped NHS. A fine overview of a small country that has shaped the world politically and culturally.
