sarahlreadseverything's review against another edition
3.0
The only thing I could fault this on the whole very entertaining and readable history of modern Britain on was that at times it read more as a biography of Churchill than what it actually was. One cannot deny that Churchill did indeed have a massive role in the period, but some of the lesser important periods of his life were covered in such detail that I wondered if nothing else could have been going on the same time that would have made for a widened study.

i really enjoyed, Marr's style is engaging and wide ranging. However, it was clearly white washed and very liberal.

Thoroughly enjoyable and very informative. I learned so much about the Edwardian and 'entre deux guerres' periods. Names that were to me just names now have meaning. Such a disregarded period of our history. I liked the way Marr used themes to pull things together into a good narrative process.
