Publisher's Synopsis
All six episodes of the BBC modern history documentary series written and presented by Andrew Marr. In this series, Marr gives an account of the events that shaped Britain from the death of Queen Victoria to the end of the Second World War, painting a vivid picture of a changing nation from the imperial power of the late Victorian age to the dawning of modern democracy, from Charlie Chaplin to Gracie Fields, and from the trenches and sea battles of the First World War to Britain's triumphant victory over fascism in 1945.
