Innovation: The History of England Volume VI (The History of England, 6) Customer Reviews
:- from C. M Mills -- TOP 500 REVIEWER : Innovation is the sixth and final volume of Ackroyd's popular historyof England ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from mlcgrace -- A Disappointing End to a Great Series : There's no denying that Peter Ackroyd's "The History of England" is a great series, and a tremendous achievement. However, Innovation fails to live up to the five volumes that come before it. It reads as if the author wanted, or was told to, finish the series so everything seems rushed and incomplete. Momentous events are covered in just a page or two. It would have been much better had the author devoted the sixth volume to the period covering the two world wars then wrapped things up with a seventh that covered the second Elizabethan era. I may reread the earlier volumes but this one was too dull to open again. ( Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Paul -- Somewhat Boring : Peter Ackroyd is an accomplished historian and I have several of his books and have enjoyed them all, but this one is too much. I have read more than 200 pages and Elizabeth is not yet mentioned. ( Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021 )
- from R. Patrick Baugh -- TOP 1000 REVIEWER : Sadly, the end of the series ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Boomdog -- Deep insight, excellent book series : Terrific series of books on England's history, thoroughly researched and so well written. Definitely recommended. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Kelly Gottschalk -- Mostly English Politics in the Twentieth Century : Full disclosure, I have not read the first five volumes of Ackroyd's History of England, but I don't think it's necessary. Innovation covers the history of England during the twentieth century. That being said, it felt very much like a large majority of the book is written through the viewpoint of interpretation through politics. A large portion of the book seems to address the constant waxing and waning of the various political parties, the prime ministers that stood for them and the inevitable changing of the guard when the people grew disenchanted with them. Many of the historical events are addressed by how the played out because of political maneuvering. If you enjoy politics, then this would make this perspective on history perfect for you. Many things, including two World Wars, the suffragette movement at the beginning of the century, arts, entertainment and culture feel largely glossed over. For a book that has the current head of the Royal family on the cover the royalty are barely addressed at all, except when there is a changing of a guard and how it affects political power. The other thing that seems apparent to me is the constant viewpoint of the English to view themselves as superior to everyone - other members of Europe, the United States, India, states in Africa, etc. They only seem to want to be involved in European groups if they don't have to make any personal sacrifices, but want to be seen as a leader and setting the tone. After throwing multiple countries on the Continent under the bus to Mussolini and Hitler to save their own skin (and because Communism is worse!) why would Europe want to concede anything to them? As someone who tends to find politics annoying, exhausting and self-serving I tended to find a lot of this book dry and not likely to be particularly flattering to England from the outsider's perspective.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Brian -- A good read : A good history of the 20th century although I found it less easy to read than the other volumes in the series but recommended ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2021 )
