England's Glory is an unashamed celebration of England and the English. A recent survey showed that English citizens were responsible for four out of five of the world'd great inventions and discoveries. Many of the great English achievements have been airbrushed out of the history books. Time and time again credit for new inventions is claimed dishonestly and inappropriately. (The Americans are, we fear, particularly guilty of this.) It is time for a little pride and joyful flag-waving. And that is what this book is all about.
