Customer Reviews

One of the best Wallace biographies

Peter Reese's book is highly recommended because:a) It is divided into logical sections.b) It covers both the life of Wallace and the aftermath right up to the date of publication (1996).c) It is very strong on the military aspects of Wallace's life and campaigns.d) It sets Wallace's life into the context of Scotland at that time.e) It is very well written, avoids going into unnecessary detail, and makes the important points.The epilogue is slightly out of date now as a lot has happened in Scotland since 1996 i.e. the devolution referendum in 1997 and the establishment of the new Scottish Parliament in 1999.In summary, one of the best Wallace biographies - we recommend it very strongly.
