Stretching from the Ice Ages to the present day, this masterful account
traces the political, social and cultural history of the land that has
come to be called Wales. Spanning prehistoric hill forts and Roman ruins
to the Reformation, the Industrial Revolution and the series of strikes
by Welsh miners in the late twentieth century, this is the definitive
history of an enduring people: a unique and compelling exploration of
the origins of the Welsh nation, its development and its role in the
modern world. This new edition brings this remarkable history into the
new era of the Welsh Assembly.
