The English by Jeremy Paxman
The man who presents University Challenge also writes well, and this book is a sometimes witty, sometimes serious look at the English, a people who currently seem very confused about their own identity.
The Seven Ages of Britain
A gripping book that covers the life on common folk in England - instead of the royals and elites from whose perspective we normally view history - through several different ages. This book is educational, interesting and thought provoking. You are unlikely to be related to a queen or king from the past, but if you are a Brit, you will be a descendent from someone who lived a lifestyle like these people did.
Why England must Declare UDI by Vernon Coleman
Coleman is a prolific writer and in this short book, he gives a summary of the case for EU withdrawal and the threat to England from the perspective of an educated nationalist. A good but very short book.
I'll be happy to talk more about these books or any others if people are interested.
