HISTORY OF BRITAIN IN TEN ENEMIES (PB)

Britain would be nothing without its enemies. The surprisingly sadistic Boudica would have been forgotten if it weren't for the Roman Ninth Legion, Elizabeth I would count as a minor royal without the Spanish Armada, and Churchill would be remembered as an opposition windbag if it hadn’t been for the Nazis. So says Horrible Histories author Terry Deary – who shows in this book just how much Brits owe to those against whom they have fought so hard.
