Short History Of Wales

Out Of Print... Wales has retained a vigorous culture and deep national pride. This is despite centuries of invasion, immigration, assimilation, suppression and condescension. In this book Professor Dodd achieves explaination without over-simplification. It is one of the few books available to the non-specialist general reader which covers four thousand years of history in a way which is true to its subject and is enjoyable to read. It is scholarly and popular. With the aid of over 100 contemporary illustrations, Professor Dodd has built up a vivid picture of Welsh life and customs, from the time of the earliest workers of flint tools and weapons down to the emergency of political nationalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The late Professor Dodd was for many years Professor of History at the University of Wales.
