In volume three of Cyril Robinson's famous history of England, we now enter a crucial phase in which political and economic power both change hands. Parliament now dominates the nation's political discourse, and, led by its brilliant Whig leader, Robert Walpole, this party maintains itself in power for a century. It is a stagnant century of corrupt politics and even more corrupt government magistrates and bureaucrats. But it is also the century that will usher in the greatest change humankind has ever seen.
The Industrial Revolution completely alters every aspect of society. And, meanwhile, war is the motive power behind everything, as England pits itself against the mightiest and most feared power in Europe, the France of the Bourbons and, later, Napoleon. In a tumultuous 125-year period, the English fight and win three out of four great wars, losing their American colonies but gaining a worldwide trading empire. Follow along in this exciting third volume of a four-part series as England's greatest heroes confront and bring down the greatest military genius of the era, Napoleon Bonaparte. Often going it alone, Britannia places her fate in the hands of two men...Nelson and Wellington.

This degree of remorseless nationalism should be branded with a warning of its undeniable fictitious premise. Young minds read and study history to investigate and analyse the events to brough about the world that we live in today. This endeavour is futher meant to help better understand the errors of our past and be better armed to face the challenges ahead. if English writers (quite like American writers on the subject of their own history) keep writing about events of history with such vehement proverbial chips on they shoulders, we're bound to keep making the same mistakes all while erroneously feeling we're standing on a standpoint of authority and righteousness but actually continuously ruining the cultures, lives and other socioeconomic aspect of our societies.
historic writers aught to be neutral on the subjects they write about. Stop the incessant propaganda of culturaly inherited ideals. be a medium of information not indoctrination!
Such pompus bias throughout.
