Reviews

"With the eloquence of Macaulay or Trevelyan--both of whom are liberally quoted here--Hannan sweeps us through English history to show the triumph of law-based liberty and "that total understanding which can only exist between people speaking the same tongue." -- The Telegraph (UK)"Hannan's well-written book is an excellent politically incorrect history of England." -- Washington Free Beacon"Equal parts history and political theory, Inventing Freedom is a thought-provoking and stirring read for the holidays." -- The Blaze
