First Edition, Collins, 1942, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - History - 370 pp. Bryants book dates well and brings to life Englands great historical characters at the close of the 18th Century. It is a rattling good yarn, but the reader must be cautious. The book was written and published in 1942 for a British audience in the grip of a grim war. It was published before El Alamein - and as Churchill was to point out, before Alamein we [Britain] never had a victory. After Alamein, we never had a defeat. The Years of Endurance wrings out every possible parallel between Englands lone stands against Revolutionary France in the 18th Century and Nazi Germany in the 20th. Many of these are valid but many are tenuous at best. This book is intended as propaganda and makes a good fist of achieving the intent. It is a wonderful narrative, but not necessarily objective history. Sir Arthur Wynne Morgan Bryant was an English historian, columnist for The Illustrated London News and man of affairs. His books included studies of Samuel Pepys, accounts of English eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history, and a life of George V. Bryant's historiography was often based on an English romantic exceptionalism drawn from his nostalgia for an idealised agrarian past. He hated modern commercial and financial capitalism, he emphasised duty over rights, and he equated democracy with the consent of "fools" and "knaves".
