The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances` foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks or military action.

From 55 BC to 1945, An Utterly Impartial History of Britain informs, explains, but most of all laughs at the seemingly incomprehensible rollercoaster of events that make up the story of Great Britain. Packed with great characters trapped in impossible dilemmas, this true-life drama will have you on the edge of your seats thinking "I wonder which of them dies at the end?" (Well, they all do, obviously. It was ages ago.) As entertaining as a witch burning and a lot more laughs. "Mum, Dad, the Second Crusade is starting! Can we put a St George`s flag on the cart?" "No dear, we don`t want everyone to think Daddy is a builder."
