In 1066, he turns his meticulous eye to the Norman Conquest, an invasion that was a turning point in British history.ġ066 is a very slim book, finishing at just under 200 pages, but it is packed with history. Turns out that I love it just as much as I did back then.ĭavid Howarth is a military historian and has written books about Waterloo and WWII. Recently, I’ve been on another hardcore history kick and decided to re-buy this non-fiction classic. When I was nineteen, my family’s house burned down, and I lost all of the books I had accumulated. 1066 by David Howarth was part of my book collection back then. I had a whole bookshelf devoted to the topic and even did my senior project on British legends.

When I was in high school, I was a bit obsessed with British history.
