    <body><![CDATA[A good overall history of Britain from the beginning of recorded history until the beginning of the 20th century. We also read Our Empire Story, which was about the British colonies. This provided a good view of Imperialism as well as an understanding of the basis for most of 20th century politics. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43066879">more...</a>]]></body>
