ISBN10: 1405811005, ISBN13: 9781405811002, [publisher: Longman Publishing Group, London] Hardcover First Edition Hardcover. When Roman troops threatened to seize the wealth of the Iceni people, their queen, Boudica, retaliated by inciting a major uprising, allying her tribe with the neighbouring Trinovantes. The ensuing clash is one of the most important - and dramatic - events in the history of Britain, standing testament to what can happen when an insensitive colonial power meets determined resistance from a subjugated people head-on. In this fascinating account of a legendary figure, Miranda Aldhouse-Green raises questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen today as a freedom fighter, terrorist or martyr. An exciting blend of historical and archaeological discoveries brings the story of Boudica right up-to-date. Covers current topics such as ideological and culture clashes, war and humiliation Will provoke widespread interest among those with a general interest in British and ancient history as it deals with a key and crucial part of British history It is an exciting and gripping story that combines stunning archaeological developments and early documents to create a narrative as enthralling as a good soap-opera Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
