Today we take our freedom for granted, but we would do well to remember that the rights and liberties we enjoy nowadays are the result of eight centuries of patient negotiation and often deadly struggle. In pursuit of our freedom, millions of words have been said, much blood has been shed. It began with Magna Carta. This fascinating book looks at the reasons that this document came to be, the events before and afterwards and the connection with Salisbury.
