Items related to Bannockburn: Scotland's Greatest Victory
1314. On a marsh-fringed plain south of Stirling Castle, King Robert the Bruce led the Scottish army in a singularly devastating victory over the English.
Bannockburn was Scotland's greatest battlefield triumph, achieved against the odds by a combination of brilliant tactical leadership and the fatal overconfidence of the English King, Edward II.
On the 700th anniversary of the battle, Peter Reese's definitive history shines a spotlight on this pivotal moment in Scottish History and considers the wider implications of this momentous victory.

Review:
"An admirably vivid account of the Scots' greatest victory over the English . . .The measured, precise build-up makes the final eruption of violence all the more compelling and impresses upon the reader just how much was at stake on the battlefield of Bannockburn in the summer of 1314." (Scotsman)
"A cracker of a book, which reads like a novel yet has the authority of many a weightier tome" (Sunday Herald)
"A thoroughly researched overview of this crucial period of Scotland's history . . . it is the sense of calm progression that makes this book so effective" (Scots Magazine)
"Peter Reese has vision, insight and understanding." (The Herald)
