The British have a proud history of choosing their enemies, from the Romans to the Germans. You might even say those enemies made Britain what it is today…
Join Terry Deary, bestselling author of the Horrible Histories as he discusses his latest non-fiction book for adults, A History of Britain in Ten Enemies. Exploring the question of how a common enemy can unite a nation far more effectively than a common friend, it argues that nations and their leaders are defined by the enemies they make.
The UK’s bestselling Children and Young Adult non-fiction writer since records began (Nielson, September 2024), Terry brought his trademark wit to an adult audience in 2024 with A History of Britain in Ten Enemies, an instant Sunday Times bestseller on its release.
‘Playful, cheeky, and very clever, this is a book for anyone who ever wished there was a Horrible Histories for grown-ups’
