Description
"In Scotland: The Story of a Nation Magnus Magnusson tells the long and fascinating history of Scotland, reexploring some cherished myths and unearthing a wealth of fascinating new detail.". "From the first Mesolithic settlers in 7000 B.C. to the struggle for nationhood and the present movements for independence, Scotland is a journey through the history of Scotland. Magnusson explains the roots of the original Scottish people and examines the extent to which Scotland was shaped by Viking raids and settlements. He judges the truth - and lack thereof - of legends about historical figures such as Macbeth, William Wallace, and Robert Bruce. While revealing the truth behind many popular myths, Magnusson also gives ample weight to the importance of these myths, which have shaped the lives of Scots for hundreds and thousands of years." "Full of colorful stories, bloody battles, vicious political intrigues, and a rich pageant of historical characters, Scotland: The Story of a Nation is history on an epic level, and is essential for anyone interested in the past of this intriguing land."--BOOK JACKET.
