In this publication the military historian John Sadler examines decisive battles in Scottish history and the way they have informed the development of the nation's history. The author attempts to place each encounter within the context of the period, describing the general political and social background, and looking at the weapons and tactics that were employed. The battles range from early Celtic warfare through to the Border reivers and the 18th century battle of Culloden. There are battle plans included and black and white photographs of notable military figures and battle scenes.
