Histoire
When the legendary Frankish king and emperor Charlemagne died in 814 he left behind a dominion and a legacy unlike anything seen in Western Europe since the fall of Rome. Johannes Fried paints a compelling portrait of a devout ruler, a violent time, and a unified kingdom that deepens our understanding of the man often called the father of Europe.

Histoire
Imagine you could travel back to the 14th century. What would you see? What would you smell? More to the point, where are you going to stay? And what are you going to eat? Ian Mortimer shows us that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. He sets out to explain what life was like in the most immediate way, through taking you to the Middle Ages. The result is the most astonishing social history book you are ever likely to read: evolutionary in its concept, informative and entertaining in its detail.

Histoire
The British Empire was the largest in all history: the nearest thing to global domination ever achieved. The world we know today is in large measure the product of Britain's age of empire. The global spread of capitalism, telecommunications, the English language, and the institutions of representative government - all these can be traced back to the extraordinary expansion of Britain's economy, population, and culture from the 17th century until the mid-20th. On a vast and vividly colored canvas, Empire shows how the British Empire acted as midwife to modernity.

Histoire
At the end of the fifteenth century, Burgundy was extinguished as an independent state. It had been a fabulously wealthy, turbulent region situated between France and Germany, with close links to the English kingdom. Torn apart by the dynastic struggles of early modern Europe, this extraordinary realm vanished from the map. But it became the cradle of what we now know as the Low Countries, modern Belgium and the Netherlands. This is the story of a thousand years, a must-listen narrative history of ambitious aristocrats, family dysfunction, treachery, savage battles, luxury, and madness.

Histoire
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

The principles of the French Revolution remain the only possible basis for a just society - even if, after more than 200 years, they are more contested than ever before. In A New World Begins, Jeremy D. Popkin offers a riveting account of the revolution that puts the listener in the thick of the debates and the violence that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new society.

Histoire
There is no story in 20th-century history more important to understand than Hitler’s rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world’s most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time.
Auteur(s): Richard J. Evans
Description
Robert Tombs' momentous The English and Their History is both a startlingly fresh and a uniquely inclusive account of the people who have a claim to be the oldest nation in the world. The English first came into existence as an idea, before they had a common ruler and before the country they lived in even had a name. They have lasted as a recognizable entity ever since, and their defining national institutions can be traced back to the earliest years of their history.
The English have come a long way from those first precarious days of invasion and conquest, with many spectacular changes of fortune. Their political, economic, and cultural contacts have left traces for good and ill across the world. This book describes their history and its meanings, from their beginnings in the monasteries of Northumbria and the wetlands of Wessex to the cosmopolitan energy of today's England. Tombs draws out important threads running through the story, including participatory government, language, law, religion, the land and the sea, and ever-changing relations with other peoples.

Good Overall but some issues
Good overall but necessarily gives short shrift to certain events. As a survey history, it has to take an overview perspective. Also, quite pro-English, but does his best to be even-handed.

Worthwhile
Well written and well presented.
An above average history and above average presentation.
I would recommend it to all who want more than an over simplified history of an ancient people.

A Comprehensive History With Flaws
By far the most comprehensive and in-depth history of England out there. Unfortunately not without its flaws though.
1. The authors biased love of a Tori government and advantages of British colonialism is blatant and distracting. I'm not asking for his opinion I'm looking for The History of Britain and I will form my own opinions from there.
2. The book breezes by the first millenium far too quickly. I understand the author gives more details as the book gets closer to present but he also flows by entire centuries of history within sentences where there is so much more to explain and spends almost two hours to explain Margaret Thatcher.
Past those two issues it's a very solid read for anyone interested in British history

Whoooo! I actually finished it!
This is a good work; however, it is a bit of a marathon … up the side of Pikes Peak on a hot day.
First of all: This is an intellectual and cultural history of England. It does not spend much time on the events that other works may choose to focus on. Prepare for a lot of lesser known, even esoteric, subjects.
Second: It is information dense. There are quite a few prevailing themes on the nature and development of English character, and these themes are tied together in the grand scheme of the book, even if sometimes it feels that the author is meandering worse than the Colorado River.
Third: Expect to be challenged on multiple ideas at once and buried in the supporting detail. Holy mother of pearl! It gets quite unwieldy and ponderous at times. He really needs to change his name to Robert Tome.
The first few chapters and last few chapters are, by far, the strongest in my opinion. That does not mean that the rest of the work is weak, just a workout.
The narration is great.

Too pro-England and awkwardly laid out
Very pro-England. It seems to gloss over significant events and focus on list like accounts of English Identity. I only made it about 6 hours in.
