5.0

I knew very little about William Wallace but I've read a lot of books by Jack Whyte. A great story teller and this book is no exception. Change a few names and places and Wallace could be Scotland's Robin Hood. The English kings and "nobility" create these heroes. Left to their own devices, these e exceptional men would live quietly with their skills, with their families and friends. Provoked by imperialist rulers, they fight against oppression. An excellent story that makes you appreciate William Wallace the man. Highly recommended to people interested in history or in a good story (or both).
