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.

Colorful, punchy, engaging; a bit jingoistic

Such pompus bias throughout.
Revisado: 10-04-21
Though the sequence of events are no dount accurate enough, the tone is so very bias that is makes my simple quest for straight historic events very difficult.
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!

David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

A terrific journey into David's life path. That, together with his witty and upbeat narration has made my many hours sitting in NYC traffic feel like but moments of commute!
