If Britain had stayed out of the Great European War of 1914, whose general line up (France and Russia v. Germany and Austria) and whose obvious flashpoint (the Balkans) had been clear to thinking men since 1879, Britain's history really would have ended, and not in tears, for the result would have been beyond doubt: Germany would have acceded to the place which must now seem her manifest destiny by the autumn of 1915 at the latest, before that war became the Great War, the slaughter of a generation, the breaking of Empires and the womb of horrors. This book is about how Germany blew it and about how Britain became her nemesis.

'Sharp and vivid and extremely persuasive' 
PHILIP PULLMAN 
As Hawes journeys from Caesar to Brexit via Conquest, Empire and War, he tells a profound new tale of England. Our island fortress is riven by an ancient fault-line that pre-dates the Romans; its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbours, whether we like it or not; and for 1,000 years it has harboured a class system like nowhere else on Earth. There has never been a better time to understand why England is the way it is - and there is no better guide.
