Volume 8 covers the years 1792 to 1815, a time of war all over Europe which created national heroes out of Nelson and Wellington as they battled against Napoleon, Domestically, Pitt the Younger had to cope with an Irish rebellion and a King whose sanity was in serious question.

Narrated by Anna Massey , and featuring extracts from Sir Winston Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples read by Peter Jeffrey . This Sceptred Isle is absorbing, informative and essential history.

It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.
