A History of Britain by Simon Schama

The British Wars (1603 - 1649) (2x1)

Udgivelsesdato: Maj 08, 2001

The turbulent civil wars of the early seventeenth century would culminate in two events unique to British history; the public execution of a king and the creation of a republic. Schama tells of the brutal war that tore the country in half and created a new Britain - divided by politics and religion and dominated by the first truly modern army, fighting for ideology, not individual leaders.
