Andrew Marr's the Making of Modern Britain

Britain basks in the heat of a long Edwardian summer, but tension and violence is never far below the surface. Women are attacked while campaigning for the vote, Ireland is divided over liberation from the British Empire, dockers and miners strike for improved conditions and wages, and the assassination of an archduke in Sarajevo sets in motion the wheels of world war.
