If you want to discover the captivating history of Scotland, the Wars of Scottish Independence and William Wallace, then keep reading... Three captivating manuscripts in one book: Scottish History: A Captivating Guide to the History of Scotland Wars of Scottish Independence: A Captivating Guide to the Battles Between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, Including the Impact Made by King Robert the Bruce William Wallace: A Captivating Guide to a Freedom Fighter and Martyr Who Impacted Scottish History and Scotland's Independence from England A sense of poetic irony registers when one learns that Scotland has never won a major military battle when the odds were in their favor. In 1513, the largest Scottish army to ever invade England was defeated by a significantly smaller English army at Flodden Field. In only two hours, the Scots lost ten thousand men. History repeated itself in 1542, when a Scottish army of 15,000 men was defeated by only 3,000 English soldiers. Despite their much smaller numbers, the English managed to take 1,200 Scottish men as prisoners. This humiliating defeat eventually contributed to the demise of King James V.

I was very disappointed with this "bundled series" of books on Scottish history. Part 1 was 80 pages or so general overview of Scottish history. It read like and extended wikipedia entry, Part 2 was "Wars of Scottish Independence". A large part of this work was word for word borrowed from part 1, Part 3 "William Wallace" was also a verbatim cut-and-paste of sections from part 1 and 2. Even the typos were repeated. ( )
