Description
A history of Britain charting the impact of 50 pivotal documents and artefacts. Spanning hundreds of years, from a Roman tablet from the fort near Hadrian’s Wall at Vindolanda; to the signed cover of The Good Friday Agreement, 1997, and the Scottish Referendum ballot paper from 2014: discover how each of the treasures, drawn from the collections of museums and archives across Britain, came to represent a key moment in the nation’s story. With an illuminating and accessible commentary, discover Magna Carta; the Indictment of Anne Boleyn; a Battle Plan for the naval battle at Trafalgar; General Gordon's letter from Khartoum; Churchill's Finest Hour speech; a ticket to a concert by the Beatles; a Mary Quant mini skirt; and more. An eclectic mix of high politics and life as it was lived, the books is illustrated throughout with letters, maps, and photographs capturing the artefacts.
