Edited by Juliet Gardiner and Neil Wenborn, this meticulously compiled companion presents thousands of alphabetically arranged entries covering key events, figures, battles, dynasties, and cultural movements that have shaped the British Isles across the millennia — all curated under the prestigious banner of History Today, Britain's foremost popular history magazine.\n\nDrawing on the expertise of leading historians, the work illustrates the richness and complexity of the British story with clarity and scholarly precision, making it equally suited to the casual reader and the serious student of history. Its breadth is remarkable: from Boudicca's revolt and the Norman Conquest — evoked so vividly by the Bayeux Tapestry imagery — to the Industrial Revolution and the twilight of empire. This is not merely a dictionary of dates but a living, breathing portrait of a nation, and once opened, it is nearly impossible to put down without discovering something utterly surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336820465883,"sku":"2026200016441-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6ca6ad40-d30f-49e8-996e-38b08ecb46ef.png?v=1789958924","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016441-secondhand-the-history-today-companion-to-british-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
