"History of the English People, Volume VIII" by John Richard Green is a deep exploration into England's transformation from 1760 to 1815. The book shines a spotlight on England during a time of major upheaval, including the American War of Independence, the growing power of what the public thought in political decisions, and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Green's writing style is really thorough, giving a detailed explanation of how these events molded not only England's identity, but its social order as well. Readers get front row seats to the decline of Whig power, the problems with the American Colonies that turn into a fight seeking freedom, and the reactions. The story shows the nation struggling with new ideas about how things should be run and who should be in charge, laying the groundwork for all the changes to come in society.
