"A beautifully written story, a box of delights, a treasure trove: final proof of truth's superiority over fiction."—Andrew Roberts

A highly readable account of the men and women who created turning points in history, it is packed with anecdotes about British scientists, explorers, soldiers, traders, writers, and artists. 154 illustrations.
