This is a magisterial work of Scots military history. The Scottish
soldier has been at war for over 2000 years. This illustrated pean
to his rich heritage explores both the detail of battles and the
cultural history of war, devoting eight separate chapters to 'The
Cultural and Physical Dimensions' of Scottish military involvement.
The volume in its entirety (over 900 pages) offers readers an
unparalleled insight into the evolution of the Scottish military
tradition. Accompanied by over 100 black and white illustrations
and stunning colour plates, the individual chapters trace
Scotland's military story from pre-history to the recent conflict
in Afghanistan. Edited by leading military historians, and
featuring contributions from thirty scholars, they explore the role
of warfare in the emergence of a Scottish kingdom, the forging of a
Scottish-British military identity, and the participation of Scots
in Britain's imperial and world wars. Eschewing a narrow definition
of military history, this prize-winning volume, now available in
paperback, pays due attention to dimensions such as Scottish
military dress and music, as well as the role of the Scottish
soldier in art and literature, Scotland's fortifications and
battlefield archaeology, and Scotland's military memorials and
museum collections.
