In an epic narrative, sometimes moving, sometimes astonishing, always
revealing, Moffat writes an entirely new history of Britain. Instead of
the usual parade of the usual suspects - kings, queens, saints, warriors
and the notorious - this is a people's history, a narrative made from
stories only DNA can tell, which offers insights into who we are and
where we come from.
Based on exciting new research involving the largest sampling of DNA
ever made in Britain, Alistair Moffat shows the true origins of our
island's inhabitants.
