[EAN: 9780385611985], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 2.39], [PU: Transworld Publishers Ltd, United Kingdom, London], JOHN O'FARRELL AN UTTERLY IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF BRITAIN OR 2000 YEARS UPPER CLASS IDIOTS IN CHARGE, Many of us were put off history by the dry and dreary way it was taught at school. Back then 'The Origins of the Industrial Revolution' somehow seemed less compelling than the chance to test the bold claim on Timothy Johnson's 'Shatterproof' ruler. But here at last is a chance to have a good laugh and learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know by now.In this Horrible History for Grown Ups, you can read how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration; 'Look I think we have to try and respect the religious customs of our new Viking friends - oi, he's nicked my bloody ox!' Discover how England's peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles whose posh descendants still have wine cellars and second homes in the Dordogne today. And explore the complex socio-economic reasons why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel; (because the Stuarts were such a useless bunch of untalented, incompetent, arrogant, upper-class thickoes that Parliament didn't have much choice.) A book about then that is also incisive and illuminating about now, 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge is a hilarious, informative and cantankerous journey through Britain' fascinating and bizarre history. It is as entertaining as a witch burning, and a lot more laughs. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine., Books<
