| Publisher Description: The Story of Wales explores a country constantly on the move and connected with the wider world, and a people who have reacted with energy and invention to changing times and opportunities. Revisiting major turning points in Welsh history--from the fledgling Welsh state under Llywelyn the Last and the ravages of the Black Death, through to its transformation into an economic power and its participation in the creation of a modern British Welfare State--Jon Gower reexamines many of the myths and misconceptions about Wales and the Welsh, uncovering rich evidence of its outward-looking dynamism and its important role on the world stage. The Story of Wales is an epic account of Welsh history for a new generation. |
