"The Invasions of England" by Edward Foord and Gordon Home is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the history of various invasions that have taken place in England, with a focus on significant events from the Roman conquests to the Napoleonic era. The book seeks to clarify misconceptions surrounding these invasions, emphasizing that few were successful without local support or a degree of cooperation from the population. The opening of the text presents a preface that establishes the authors’ intent and rationale for addressing the topic of invasions into England. They highlight the lack of comprehensive works on this subject since at least the late 18th century and express a desire to utilize new historical material and archaeological findings to shed light on well-known historical events. The authors assert that since the Norman Conquest, nearly all serious invasion attempts were only successful when they had a strong local alliance or approval. The chapter immediately dives into Julius Caesar’s invasions, offering a detailed context of military preparations, tribal affiliations, and the socio-political dynamics at play during these early encounters, setting the stage for a thorough examination of England's turbulent history.
