The Invasions of England

"The Invasions of England" by Edward Foord is a historical exploration of the numerous invasions that have targeted England, spanning from the Roman era up to Napoleon's time. This book aims to fix misunderstandings surrounding these historical events, mainly pointing out that these invasions often needed internal support or agreement from the English people to succeed. The authors explain their reasons for writing about England's invasions right at the beginning, mentioning that there hasn't been a detailed book on this topic for a long time. They plan to use new historical information and archaeological discoveries to better explain these important events. The authors argue that after the Norman Conquest, any major invasion attempts succeeded with local alliances or permission. Starting with Julius Caesar's invasions, the book provides a detailed picture of military plans, tribal connections, and social and political factors during these ancient battles, giving readers a full understanding of England's action-packed past.
