Behind the familiar serenity of the British countryside is a history of invasion, mutiny and civil war. To connect this sanguinary past with an unassuming present is the object of this book. In chronological order the book explores forty-seven battlefields in England, Scotland and Wales, from the Danish invasions to the rebellion of Bonny Prince Charlie. An historical account of each battle is illustrated with modern photographs of the field, a combination that invests the battlefields with an unsettling depth of meaning. Large-scale plans guide the visitor to view-points and places of interest on the field itself or in the immediate area. The result is an unusual and beautiful book that is both practical and enlightening.
