Über den Autor
During his time as Whittaker Fellow and Visiting Quatercentenary Fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Christopher Lee completed his BBC history of Great Britain, This Sceptred Isle. Viceroys came from that research time. From the Cambridge years also came, 1603 - the birth of the British Stuart dynasty; Trafalgar - the confrontation between Nelson and Napoleon and, his official abridgement of Winston S Churchill's A History of the English-speaking Peoples.
