Reader Reviews:
Wonderful - made the journeys to home and work a pleasure (14/14 people found this helpful)
Not only did I listen raptly all the way to and from work for a fortnight, but I've ended up understanding how we've got to where we are. I know I'll listen to these tapes again and again and would recommend them to anyone. History comes to life - and how entertaining and informative it is. Superb.
concise, balanced and fascinating (15/16 people found this helpful)
I ordered this CD box set after listening to the complete box set of the previous volume: 55BC-1901AD. This set was just as good, and went into just the right amount of detail and really put things into perspective; something that many historical exercises fail to do. Excellent listening!
Sit back and let it overwhelm you!!! (15/15 people found this helpful)
Nothing is as good as being read to. And then especially when the story is so good and being read by such professional readers. I enjoyed each and every minute of this series, from home-to-work and from work-to-home. This Sceptred Isle, to me, presents the 20th century history in a fashion that makes it come op life before my very eyes, my not being a scholar of British history. It continues the series This Sceptred Isle from 55BC to the death of Queen Victoria in a wonderful way. Treat yourself to this jewel and I assure you, you won't regret it!!!
