A seasoned American scholar presents more than just a history of the great Roman highway that now links London to Edinburgh. It is the story of everything the road has known or touched through its centuries of existence.. It knew the Saxon invaders and the Danegeld, the Norman Conquerors, the first printing presses, it even extended its influence across oceans to Rome and America. This book is one of possibly limited but enduring appeal and will delight students and teachers of the background of world history.
