stewart_monckton's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
3.5
I took a long time to complete this book - and I think it would have helped if a number of 'family trees' had been provided to help me keep track of who was who in the complex lines of succession in some of the royal houses! (Although maybe the editors / author of a book about '12 maps' felt that any other form of graphic apart from maps was a bad idea)
The finally section, which includes an historical view of Brexit, was really very good and set a historical context for that vote.

The maps are glorious, but the text, badly in need of a decent editor, is too often incidental.
