One quick, in-depth and conservative view of the Isles...

When time is at a premium and you are not too concerned about the political cant of the source, A Concise History of Britain; 1707-1975 is the student's antidote. What appears in this volume is adroitely abridged to eliminate many circumstantial events to the reward of political nuggets.Disconcerting are the author's reversals of opinion in face of events that signal either a disciple's blindness to fact or a fanatic's adherence to image. In either case, Speck maintains his professorial balance at the expense of his ideologic veracity.Avery RENDON<P
