In this history of Scotland's wars and warriors, famous names and battle honors are scattered through a text that shows the reality of warfare over times that are the stuff of song and fable. From Caledonians resisting Rome to Anglo-Scottish knights practiced in chivalry, from yeoman pikemen and musketeers to the Highland clansmen of legend, this book chronicles Scotland's soldiers battling-and often winning-against the odds. Detailed battle plans and illustrations of men and equipment illuminate the history of a warring nation over more than 1500 years.
