Good Book

Interesting book. Some great insight to some of the wars but didn't touch on some of the battles that are also important in Scotland's history. The performance is ok a little monotone but clear and easy to understand.

Strongly recommended............

If you want an understanding of the Anglo-Scottish conflict that is based on strong research and that avoids the subjects myths and cliches, then read this book. Strongly recommended.

A unique topic, well described.

First, get your copy as I did & increase your knowledge of a lesser known historical figure! I have a problem with keeping straight the difference between Great Britain & surrounding countries . Maybe someone will write a book about it, know this came later in History . They would be friends & then horrible enemies. And throughout the book would fight then make peace & then fight again.

Wars of Scottish Independence was excellent.

This is factual information about the leaders of the fight for Scottish independence. I really enjoyed the Captivating History's book to describe the Scottish wars of independence. The book was brief but concise. The author compared it with what we actually know of the people and the events.

Good historical look at the borders of Scotland

The story then progresses up to the Wars of Scottish Independence's appointment as Guardian of Scotland by Captivating History ..This novel is full of plot twists and suspense that leaves you wanting more! You might think you know William Wallace from the movie BRAVEHEART, but that barely touched the surface of what you'll discover in this book!

Real Scottish history to learn.

Good book, debunks some of the "history" being bandied about in modern movies. Believe it or not, this book shows the real Wars of Scottish Independence weren't ANYTHING like portrayed in the movie 'Braveheart". A must read for anyone who actually has a yen for real Scottish history!

It is what it says it is.

And it was a great read as well. Took my awhile to get used to the narrator, but as he is reading a textbook, more or less, he did a fine job.

The pace of the information was good, and interesting. In the beginning they give a brief overview of the material, then the go in deep, and afterward give another overall summery, that was very helpful as I was already a bit unfamiliar with the subject material.

I just finished watching Outlaw King, and wanted a bit more background without having to get to deep, and this book was perfect. I listened to it twice in a row.

A history I love to read about.

The audible is very evident, the material in the book, the Scottish movement for independence had to face two major foes, only one of which was the English. The other foe, just as problematic as the other was the in-fighting among the Scottish nobility with an almost constant struggle for power, a struggle which weakened the Scottish movement and may very well have cost them their independence. Its really very well described.

Very Unique from my side.

The book also shows that England honored its treaties with Scotland just as well as the American government honored its own treaties with Native Americans.

Dubious research, historical inaccuracies.

the research methodology the author employs is dubious at best. often relying on blind storytellers to give physical descriptions. Also I can't for the life of me find out who the hell actually wrote this
