From the Norman Invasion in 1066 to the eve of the First World War, Stick a Flag in It is a thousand-year jocular journey through the history of Britain and its global empire.The British people have always been eccentric, occasionally ingenious and, sure, sometimes unhinged – from mad monarchs to mass-murdering lepers. Here, Arran Lomas shows us how they harnessed those traits to forge the British nation, and indeed the world, we know today.Follow history’s greatest adventurers from the swashbuckling waters of the Caribbean to the vast white wasteland of the Antarctic wilderness, like the British spy who infiltrated a top-secret Indian brothel and the priest who hid inside a wall but forgot to bring a packed lunch. At the very least you’ll discover Henry VIII’s favourite arse-wipe, whether the flying alchemist ever made it from Scotland to France, and the connection between Victorian coffee houses and dildos.Forget what you were taught in school – this is history like you’ve never heard it before, full of captivating historical quirks that will make you laugh out loud and scratch your head in disbelief.

Arran Lomas brings us a thousand years of British history. The glorious wars, beheadings, hangings, drawings, quarterings, monarchies, charters, exploration, exploitation, and civilization of what was once the greatest empire on earth.This was quite fun to read. It's all in little bits and pieces, and reading it is rather like eating potato chips. You're just going to read a chapter. Next thing you know, you've plowed through the book and you're done, but it was quite enjoyable. Lomas is an affable and clever author. He can tell a horrifying story and have you laughing while you're reading it. You needn't be a serious history buff to enjoy, but if you're serious, you'll enjoy it too. Even the youngsters could enjoy this - it's such a pity we don't appreciate history when we're young - but it is graphic and there is some foul language. Nothing that offended me, but worth considering for a young reader.In fact, I think this would make a lovely gift for anyone who reads. It's lively and engaging, and while the events depicted are at times unsavory, the story telling never falters. Mr. Lomas is not an historian, but he's the author you wish was your history teacher.This is Lomas's first book, and as such, exceeds my expectations. I look forward to more books on various subjects, because I'm sure this has been quite the success. It was definitely worthy my money.
