120-ais mūsų eros metais Romos karvedys Flavijus Akila vedė penkis tūkstančių romėnų karių, Devintąjį legioną, į dar neištirtas žemes Britanijos šiaurėje. Bet ir karvedys, ir visas Devintasis legionas paslaptingai dingo. Po 20 metų legiono vado sūnus jaunas centurionas Markas Akila nusprendžia išsiaiškinti Devintojo legiono dingimo paslaptį. Jaunuolis pasižada surasti legiono herbą – šventąjį Erelį, sugražinti gerą savo šeimos vardą ir pagerbti tėvo atminimą. Romėnų tvirtovėje jaunuolį pasiekia žinia, kad Erelis buvo pastebėtas už Romos imperijos ribų – Britanijos šiaurėje. Markas Akila privalo peržengti Romos imperijos sienas – toks žygis baugina net drąsiausius Romos karius. Čia, gūdžiuose Škotijos miškuose, tyko karingos barbarų gentys. Čia dingo penki tūkstančiai romėnų karių. Tačiau surasti erelį Marko Akilos garbės reikalas.

Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result. Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry.
