From the cover
By S. J Parker on March 14, 2007
Format: Hardcover
First published in 1914, the Scottish War of Independence is a full-blooded account of the crucial phase in medieval Scotland's struggle against the superior might of England-from Balliol's repudiation of the English in 1295, to the Treaty of Northampton in 1328.

Evan Macleod Barron - who was himself a proud Highland Scot - celebrates the concepts of ardent nationalism and resistance to tyranny as he dramatically details all the important battles from Stirling Bridge to Bannockburn. He also gives praise to the deeds of the Scottish leaders, especially the paragon of chivalry Andrew de Moray; the outlaw turned-patriot William Wallace; and the royal claimant Robert Bruce, whose stunning victories after overwhelming reverses won him mythic stature.

Barron puts his exalted style into the service of a sober-minded revisionism. Through his use of primary sources and his sensitivity to historical context, he is able to correct some long-standing errors. He shows that at the time of the war for independence the Scottish aristocracy was more Celtic in culture and Scottish popular feeling more nationalist than previously suspected. He also exonerates Robert Bruce from charges of treachery brought by hostile historians, revealing him to have been a brilliant warrior-statesman.

A mine of historical information. The "Scottish War of Independence" can also be appreciated as a series of war adventures told with a zest like that of the heroes who fill its pages.

A little more detailed than I really like with so many knights and lords that is hard to remember who they are and what part they played.
