Jeremy Paxman, The English
Read this as it was recommended by Kate Fox in 'Watching the English', which was surprising. Meant to be 'A Portraint of A People', but it concentrates on a very specific subset of English; public school educated, southern, and a history of service in the forces and the empire. This may be 'English' for Paxman, but wasn't one millions of others would recognise. Written like a journalist with some very sweeping generalisations
