A fascinating work
Sunday Express
A rich history of the invasions of Britain... that, by relying on the words of contemporary historians, possess a freshness and immediacy
Sunday Times
An enthralling account of the defence of Britain... a solid and conscientious piece of work
Jan Morris, Independent
Here is a book Shakespeare would have loved - a fine, old-fashioned, drum-beating history of our island fortress... Longmate weaves the medieval chronicles into a compelling modern story, full of rich and often blood-curdling detail
Piers Brendon, Mail on Sunday
