Product Description

Product Description
Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie, now the subject of a major film, is one of history's greatest heroes, and one of its greatest enigmas - a figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Even the date and place of his birth have been mis-stated. This biography tells of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become the Guardian of Scotland. It describes the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and attrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes the blood boil & the heart proud, 28 Jun 2000
By A Customer
After the confusion of the first chapter the story of this great man unfolds to reveal courage and a national pride second to none, a fight for what was right and to put the evil dictatorship of the English to the sword once and for all. Forget the romanticism of Hollywood and be amazed by what these so called screen legends have left out of their version of the story. You won't be able to put it down and you will never forget.

4.0 out of 5 stars An informative book, requires concentration ., 28 Nov 2001
This is an informative book. It gives a true picture of one of Scotland's biggest heroes in that country's fight for independence from England. I found that it was a slow read because I had to concentrate to keep all of the pertinent individuals straight. However, if you want to know more about him, this is a good pick.

5.0 out of 5 stars richly details history of Wallace and his rising, 25 Nov 2002
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As a child of 9 I picked out the decor for my new room - Wallace Plaid - which dumbfounded my family since our Clans were MacGillivray, Ogilvie, Grant, Fraser and Montgomerie! But I thought Wallace such a great, sweeping figure. This was decades before Randall Wallace accidentally discovered William Wallace on a vacation in Scotland and read Anne Porter's Highland Chiefs. Wallace, to me, was such a true Patriot - not a Saint, but a man willing to go to the wall, to die for what he believed. Not many of us would walk in his shoes, so I have to admire his willingness to die for an idea.
James MacKay gives a richly details account of the Scottish clime of politics that formed and fermented Wallace. It might be a little bit more than the average reader would be interested in (I would suggest Grey's book on Wallace in that case), but for those wishing to know more without wading through Blind Harry, this is a wonderful work.

A perfect gift to that friend that watched Braveheart more than once!!
