Terry Deary.

Perhaps best known for his 'Horrible Histories' series of books, mainly aimed at kids (although, as an adult, I like them too!)

This is aimed more at the adult market than those, with Deary's thesis being - essentially - that it is the island of Britain's enemies through the ages that has forged the national identity. I'm not entirely sold on that, or on who he has chosen - as someone who lived through the tail end of 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland, I found that chapter especially jarring - with some of his 'dad jokes' getting old pretty quick.

Still, if you take it for what it is (and not entirely rely upon this as a single gospel source of truth), it's a pleasant enough overview of the history of Britain
