A Great Rainy Day Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Sadler gives a taste of bloody Scottish history that urges you to dig deeper. Each battle is covered in depth, with maps and eyewitness accounts whenever possible. Flavor is added with tactics, weaponry, and a historical review for the period of each battle. My only complaint is that a full map of Scotland and northern England is not included- this makes it difficult to follow accounts of the Border Wars and the maneuvering leading up to each contest.
