Summary: "We know a lot about the Romans. They left monuments to their glories and written histories charting their exploits of their heroes. What do we know about the warriors who humiliated them over a thousand years ago? The early Celts did not keep written records and so much of their story and many of their achievements were forgotten. This is the story of a multicultural civilization, linked by a common language. It's the story of how ideas travelled in prehistory: how technology and art spread across the continent. This is the story of a European culture that changed Britain forever"--Book jacket.
