William Wallace: Brave Heart
by James Mackay
£14.00 pounds

James Mackay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland.

With reference to the poem by Blind Harry and accounts and statements from modern historians and historians of earlier times, this book covers a lot of ground. From his origins, family and boyhood, to the invasion of England, the later Comyn Wars and his death, this book is everything you ever wanted to know about Sir William Wallce, and more. It's a must for anyone seriously interested in Sir William Wallace, or Scotland.

William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better armed and better trained English forces. Seven hundred years later, the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and the dark atrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal and powerful empire, still create a compelling tale.

With Mel Gibson's 'Braveheart' having won 5 Oscars, find out the real truth behind the most enigmatic of Scottish warriors in James Mackay's highly acclaimed biography, published by Mainstream Publishing.
