The English have a rich and glorious history of making trouble for themselves. One hundred and forty years before the French Revolution, the English executed their king and instituted a radical revolutionary government. In 1215, more than 570 years before the United States ratified its Bill of Rights, England's barons forced King John to accept the Magna Carta., In 1926 over 1.5 million strikers brought the nation to its knees. From the Peasants' Revolt to the suffragettes, from Oliver Cromwell to Arthur Scargill, this ground-breaking and hugely enjoyable book describes a rich and continuous tradition of resistance, rebellion and radicalism, of violent and charismatic individuals with axes to grind, and of social eruptions and political earthquakes that have shaped England's whole culture and character.

The story of England
is a story of rebellion.
For a thousand years the English people have fought their rulers - often bloodily. David Horspool's The English Rebel traces the radicals, street protests, civil upheavals and explosive confrontations which are the hidden history of a country at war with itself. From the Norman conquest and resistance of 1066 through to 1990s' Poll Tax riots, the Peasants Revolt to the Suffragettes, Oliver Cromwell to Arthur Scargill, Magna Carta and the Gunpowder Plot to the battle of Cable Street, The English Rebel proves that England never shies from a fight.
'Fascinating, excellent. It is hard not to admire Horspool's sweep and insight, or the love of history that shines from every page' Daily Telegraph
'Fascinating. A brilliant retelling of that basic story of the Anglo-British state' Independent on Sunday
'Ambitious, beautifully written and very funny' Sunday Times
'A lively romp through English history and a stirring chronicle of history's losers' Mail on Sunday
