The history of England is as complex as history can be. But based on this book, it doesn't look very old for the current form it evolved to.
It has all those wars, religions, ego clashes, family, murders and all the possible combinations of the aforementioned which makes it not very interesting read. It is boring unless you are not even initiated in the history of any country.
The only interesting part is when you're done reading it, and contemplate how the current identity politics work in UK.
It is not that we don't learn from history, the case is that most of the people are ahistorical.
Peace
