5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing History to Life, 5 Mar 2002

By	K. Garden (Lockerbie, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scotland: The Story of a Nation (Paperback)

As one who has read little else but novels over the years, I would never have thought of reading a history book from cover to cover but something made me want to find out more about all those bits of Scottish history I knew precious little about...the Covenanters, James VI, and all that.
I have been transfixed since I took up Magnusson's tome. It's a fascinating and thoroughly readable journey through Scotland's history. The savagery, intrigue and instability of the centuries is marvellously recorded here and a measured analysis of each monarch's place in history is provided...

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it, thoroughly researched and detailed, 21 April 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Scotland: The Story of a Nation (Paperback)

I was given this book as a xmas present and read it avidly particularly the era of the wars of independence around 1300. The one thing that surprises me is that scotland was able to remain a nation independent of the english for so long after we suffered defeat and defeat at the hands of the english. back to the book and it is worth buying if you are interested in or ,know nothing about scottish history.

5.0 out of 5 stars The true Story of a Nation, 18 Nov 2004

By A Customer

Magnus Magnussons' 'Scotland, Story of a Nation' is wonderfully written and gives a poignant insight into Scottish history. From the Romans, to Bonnie Prince Charlie, this book is excellent and covers an immense variety of events which have shaped the way Scotland, as a Nation is today. Informative, without being overbearing, Factual and not fanciful, this book is a must for anyone studying or interested in Scottish history!
