![]() ![]() His admiration for the Romans and Anglo-Saxons is apparent and not unjustified. Not really and "invasion." Unfortunately he gives short shrift to the Brythonic peoples who were already living Britain, so that it seemed to me that there was a vacuum which the conquerors walked into. He points out that while it took the Romans a mere five years to conquer Britain, the Anglo-Saxon conquest took at least three hundred. ![]() No tortured and convoluted "reasoning" to promote a certain theory or interpretation. That said, I did enjoy this book very much and found his ideas, based on archeological and documentary evidence, to make sense. ![]() I did not look at the publication date when I bought this, and when I realized that it was written in the early '60's, I found it completely ironic that the author cautions the reader that in the last 30 years so much has been discovered that it may render old opinions and theories obsolete. ![]()
