Simon Schama's compelling storytelling skills breathe new life into the dramatic stories of lives and moments in Britain's rich and colorful past.Think of A History of Britain as an adventure in self-recognition, a way to see ourselves in a mirror of time; because it's only when we know what we have been that we can begin to understand our place in the scheme of things, to discover as a nation who we are. And believe me, it's a wild ride. - Simon Schama
