A History of the English-Speaking Peoples since 1900

‘Roberts boldly dons Churchill’s own mantle, setting out to continue where Churchill’s four volumes left off, which was in 1901. The mantle fits … an advocate of Churchillian eloquence’ Mail on Sunday

Andrew Roberts, Wolfson History prize-winner, brilliantly reveals what made the English-speaking people the preeminent political culture since 1900, and how what connects them is far greater than what separates them. This is an enthralling account covering the four world-historical struggles in which the English-speaking peoples have been engaged: the wars against German nationalism, Axis fascism, Soviet communism and fundamentalist terrorism.

Authoritative and engrossing, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples also deals with the cultural, social and political history of the English global diaspora.
