This fascinating book examines the origins of the peoples of northern Europe, of the cross-cultures which developed around the North Sea and the Baltic rather than around the Mediterranean. Germans and Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Scandinavians, and Northern Slavs all met and mingled in the chill northern reaches of Europe, righting, trading, settling, intermarrying, and influencing one another—and our own lives—to an extent that is only being truly appreciated today.

With the two main political parties as far apart as at any time since the 1930s, the period was riven by violent confrontation, beginning with the explosion of rioting that rocked England's cities in 1981 and again in 1985; a year-long fight with the National Union of Mineworkers, and then with print workers in Wapping. There was the war to retake the Falkland Islands and the re-escalation of the troubles in Northern Ireland, which began with hunger strikes and peaked with the attempt to assassinate the entire Cabinet in the Brighton bombing.
