Full Description

The ridiculously funny history of Britain for adults from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories, perfect for fans of Unruly by David Mitchell.

'If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it. It is laugh out loud funny' Conn Iggulden, bestselling author of the Emperor series

Ah, Britain. So special. The greatest nation on earth, some say. And we did it all on our own. Didn't we...?

As it happens Britannia got its name from the Romans, and for the past two centuries we have been ruled by Germans. As Horrible Histories author Terry Deary argues, nations and their leaders are defined by the enemies they make. You might even say those enemies made Britain what it is today...

For instance, did you know:
· Elizabeth I would count as a minor royal without the Spanish Armada?
· Without the Nazis, Churchill would be remembered as an opposition windbag?
· And the surprisingly sadistic Boudica would be forgotten if it weren't for the Roman Ninth Legion?
After all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit, right? (although in an ideal world, we wouldn't have accidentally let Corporal Hitler go in the first place).

A History of Britain in Ten Enemies is a witty, whistlestop tour of British history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn't teach you in school.
