This is a very good summary of the current thinking about Britain's past up to the Norman Conquest. Obviously, if you need an in-depth analysis you will need to use this volume only as a starter and then get into the bibliography. Cunliffe is always clear and has produced a stimulating set of arguments and a good range of maps, photos and examples of the subject in hand. If you only have one space for a volume of British prehistory and ancient history this is a useful one to fill that space. You may not always agree with the analysis given, but it will encourage you to dig deeper!
