Scottish Battles

by John Sadler

Scottish history has been shaped and defined by a series of great battles - Bannockburn, Flodden and Culloden have a resonance and impact far beyond Scotland itself. In the first full military history for many years, John Sadler weaves chronicle, narrative, and analysis together in a masterly way, recreating the drama and passion of centuries past.

Reviews

[Jeff Moffatt]

Book never really gabbed me. Assumed too much British & military history, and dry for my test. Read several chapters, but not interesting enough to read the entire book.
