British History In Newsflashes: The Rise And Rise Of A Great Empire

It has often been said, and not least by the many billions of Anglophiles around the world, that Britain is truly Great Britain, because it have done so much in shaping the modern world. One thing is for sure, Britain has given the world the almost universal language of English that is so beautiful, expressive and powerful that much of the world now use it for all sorts of reasons and ways including all the fields of science, technology, economics, politics, sociology, trade, arts, poetry, literature, theatre, cinema, global information exchanges and communications. And, above all, the self-deprecating humour of the language is almost the hallmark of perfect gentlemen and gracious ladies everywhere! The remarkable British history through the ages is described in succinct newsflashes. Great achievements and tragedies are aplenty. There is however no rise and fall for this great empire of old. Only its rise and rise in many different guises. This rise and rise will happen in so many possible ways, even if eventually, it may have to face the real danger of a terrible breakup of its four constituent nations, following the fateful divisive Brexit. This book captures the true genius and the many fascinating faces of Great Britain, the many astounding newsflashes from it, and the many brilliant flashes of genius of its great people, now and into the future.
