In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries England underwent a startling
series of transformations. The turbulent reigns of the Tudors and
Stuarts witnessed the Protestant Reformation, the growth of powerful
monarchies, the English Civil War, and the colonization of the new
world. In this, the second volume of his History of the English Speaking
Peoples, Sir Winston Churchill turned his considerable rhetorical and
analytical acumen to weaving a compelling and insightful narrative of
these formative centuries.
