Since the Battle of Culloden in 1746, there has been no significant conflict on British soil. Nearly three centuries of peace on the island have created a sense of complacency that blinds us to the horrific violence and bloodshed that raged on these isles for over 1,700 years. For many younger people, war seems like an anachronism, a reminder of a less sophisticated and almost barbaric past. For others, our military history evokes memories of more glorious days, when British military prowess helped to establish a vast overseas empire. Martin Wall examines our long and blood-soaked history, from the Roman invasions to modern times. This is not just a story of honor, courage, and glory, but also of the terrible suffering war has caused throughout the centuries and the epigenetic trauma it has left us, which continues to influence our national culture even today.
