WILLIAM WALLACE

BRAVE HEART

(JAMES MACKAY)

Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history’s greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas – a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend.  Even the date and place of his birth have been misstated – until now.  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 the guardian of Scotland.  William Wallace, with superb general-ship 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.
