How could this have happened?The following morning, while the galaxy’s media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure).

The greatest nation on earth, some say. And we did it all on our own. Didn’t we…? As it happens Britannia got its name from the Romans, and for the past two centuries we have been ruled by Germans. As Horrible Histories author Terry Deary argues, nations and their leaders are defined by the enemies they make. You might even say those enemies made Britain what it is today... For instance, did you know:· Elizabeth I would count as a minor royal without the Spanish Armada?· Without the Nazis, Churchill would be remembered as an opposition windbag?· And the surprisingly sadistic Boudica would be forgotten if it weren't for the Roman Ninth Legion?After all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit, right? (although in an ideal world, we wouldn’t have accidentally let Corporal Hitler go in the first place). A History of Britain in Ten Enemies is a witty, whistlestop tour of British history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn't teach you in school. ---------'Ram-packed with mind-blowing facts, hilarious characters, and little-known tales' Dan Schreiber, author of The Theory of Everything Else ‘Packed with dinner-party-worthy anecdotes, the kind that will delight history buffs and newcomers alike’ Alice Loxton, The Telegraph 'Playful, cheeky, and very clever, this is a book for anyone who ever wished there was a Horrible Histories for grown-ups' Kate Lister, author of A Curious History of Sex ‘Told with characteristic wit and verve…not just an eye-opener, but a mind-opener’ Tracy Borman, author of The Private Lives of the Tudors Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller May 2025
