I don’t wish to offend any Welsh people and I’m sure that there have been several famous battles fought in Wales (mostly against the English I bet) but I must admit that when I saw this book my first thought was of the old playground jokes about the shortest books in the world — like Italian War Heroes, The Biafran Book of Cookery, The Irish Book of Knowledge, and The German Joke Book.
There was also English Fine Cuisine so we were pretty much equal-opportunity offenders back then.
Here’s someone from the book Famous Welsh Singers which isn’t very long either but is full of quality.

I’m afraid the whole history of Wales is one long series of battles, and, yes, mainly against (and instigated by) the English. Over the years, we’ve either been exploited or fighting. Don’t forget the last invasion of Britain took place on the West coast of Wales (and no, I shan’t repeat all the legends about that).
