A Short History of England by Simon Jenkins


   

It's a concise illustrated brief history of England (not Britain) since the beginning of times (after the Romans left) to the present, quite up-to-date, considering.

It helped me to give some order to my weak understanding of British history

Due to the conciseness it feels more like a list of names and dates, simply listing the names of kings, the dates of battles, and occasionally makes a comment on the culture or economy of the time.
