Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The English have, it seems, a rich and glorious history in making trouble for themselves. From the Peasants' Revolt to the Suffragettes, from Oliver Cromwell to Arthur Scargill, David Horspool describes a rich and continuous tradition of resistance, rebellion and radicalism in this myth-breaking and enjoyable history.
