The Shortest History Of England

Author James Hawes discovers an England very different to the standard vision. A stable island fortress, stubbornly independent, the begetter of parliaments and globe-spanning empires, is riven by an ancient fault-line that predates even the Romans; its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbours, whether we like it or not; and - for the past 1,000 years - it has harboured a class system like nowhere else on Earth. Pat as joined by James on the show to chat about his new book. Listen and subscribe to The Pat Kenny Show on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
