A History of the English Speaking Peoples by Winston Churchill.

It is not as ponderous as it sounds. Yes, it is 4 volumes long, but it's written in a very conversational style (imagine sitting in front of a fireplace with a bandy snifter in your hand listening to Sir Winston...) - it was written for the mass market just before WW2 when Churchill was not the PM and his family finances were rather precarious.

The book was mainly written in the late 1930s but not published until after the war.

Whole-heartedly recommended.
