Duncan worked in archaeology for nearly two decades, predominantly with the University of Cambridge Archaeological Unit. He left full-time work to be a stay-at-home dad and pursue his own research. Almost 2000 years ago, Boudica led the greatest rebellion Britain has ever seen. Within the space of a single blood-soaked year, she united the tribes to deliver blow after devastating blow to the Roman regime, culminating in a brutal, decisive battle. An original, revelatory, enthralling narrative history of how Queen Boudica led the greatest rebellion Britain has ever seen. Duncan has written a masterpiece – a journey and an investigation that fuses landscape and history, chasing the echoes of Boudica’s rebellion and finding its physical traces that still surround us today.’ Nicholas Crane
