Midwest Book Review

You don't have to be from Yorkshire to appreciate this book, which contains a wealth of material on the historically strategic importance of the largest county in Britain. The book is written by someone who enjoys his subject well, and makes it both interesting and educational at the same time, which is no mean feat. Yorkshiremen are often portrayed as unfeeling, hard and uncaring, and some of those things may be true, but there is no doubting the steadfastness and the strengths and virtues of the inhabitants, as evidenced in the book.

Yorkshire Gazette and Herald - reviewed by Bill Spence

Paul Levitt succeeds in his goal of demonstrating that the county and its people have been shaped by invasions and turmoil. His account gives a vivid impression of the constantly rising and falling tide of political struggles, uprisings, and religious and social tensions that affected the development of Yorkshire and the lives of its occupants in the past, and leave their marks even today.

Yorkshire: A Story of Invasion, Uprising and Conflict by Paul C. Levitt is a thoroughly enjoyable read that I’m definitely going to pass on to my dad – as a true Yorkshireman, he will love it! This book will be useful for anyone with an interest in Yorkshire and it history.

Fun and informative, it clearly demonstrates the reason we Yorkshire folk are said to have ‘grit’. I can highly recommend it!

A really good introduction to the history of Yorkshire, particularly it’s early development. It is not difficult to see why a determined self confidence emerged.
