Just the kind of quizzical book you would expect from Jeremy Paxman. He questions the character, history, ways and obsessions of the English in the same way he might grill a politician although here he is the one providing the answers or his rather his opinion. A great book to dip in to and full of interesting facts and fictions.
Jeremy Paxman is to many the embodiment of Englishness yet even he is sometimes forced to ask: who or what exactly are the English? And in setting about addressing this most vexing of questions, Paxman discovers answers to a few others. Like: Why do the English actually enjoy feeling persecuted?
