Scotland’s First War of Independence by Sarah Crome
Sarah Crome’s beautifully illustrated book “Scotland’s First War of Independence” tells the tale of a turbulent time in Scotland’s history from the tragic death of Alexander III in 1286, through the English invasions and the resistance of William Wallace of Braveheart fame, to the military successes of Robert the Bruce and the Treaty of Edinburgh in 1328. Using maps, reconstruction illustrations, artifacts and documents of the era, Ms. Crome guides us through the events that ultimately led to Scotland’s independence.
From the forward by Nigel Tranter author of The Bruce Trilogy, “I commend this book to all discerning readers. History is the memory of the races, and a nation which loses its memory is sad indeed, and not worthy to be called a nation. Here is an enthralling account of one of the most tumultuous and momentous forty years of two nations.”
160 pages, chronology, index, bibliography & further reading, illustrations on every page.
