The English and Their History

Holy moley that was long. Though of course you can't be surprised given the scope of the subject matter.

Overall it was pretty good, but paced like a game of Civilization (the section on The Blitz probably lasted longer than entire earlier decades). As other reviewers have said the book was largely organized chronologically though with occasional thematic chapters that would take a wider view. Of these, the last one was unfortunately the least interesting to me, and so the book ended on a bit of a low point personally.
