A Short History of England: The Glorious Story of a Rowdy Nation by Simon Jenkins
4.0
For the most part, I found this book to be very informative and interesting. I have always found England to be fascinating and regret not studying England's history earlier. This book is meant to be an introduction to England history, and I think it did a good job in doing so. Chapters were relatively short and the text was easy to understand, which is what I appreciated the most out of the book. I have a linear preference when I'm reading history books (so I discovered), which is how the author organized his material.
It also fostered an interest in wanting to read more books about England, and I became interested in studying more about Anne Boleyn and Winston Churchill. I also would like to read more books that cover England history, preferably those that are longer and have more detail.
Overall, a very informative book and was enjoyable at times.
