Title: excellent work on the period
Review: For people just getting interested in this period of British History, this is an excellent work. The Anglo-Saxon period was a time of turbulent upheaval and change in Britain, and Fisher provides riveting accounts of the conquests of Britain by the Anglo-Saxons, then the coming age of the Normans. The books is focused on the various parts of how Britain evolved, how the warrior bands that ruled the lands were ultimately forged into a nation, influenced by kings and church.Fish is the lecturer (professor to the Yanks!!) at the University of Cambridge, and brings to bear his talents in this concise, rather straightforward work, making it one of the best books on this period for the general reader looking for answers.
