Volume 8 covers the years 1792 to 1815, a time of war all over Europe which created national heroes out of Nelson and Wellington as they battled against Napoleon, Domestically, Pitt the Younger had to cope with an Irish rebellion and a King whose sanity was in serious question.

Narrated by Anna Massey , and featuring extracts from Sir Winston Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples read by Peter Jeffrey . This Sceptred Isle is absorbing, informative and essential history.
