In the Wake of the Lion: William Wallace and the True Story of Scottish Independence

William Wallace is one of the most iconic figures in Scottish history, a man whose name is synonymous with the fight for freedom and independence. But who was the real William Wallace? What drove him to take up arms against the English? And what was his true legacy?

Through the lens of Wallace’s life, this book provides a deeper understanding of the Scottish struggle for independence, the causes of the war, the major battles that were fought, and the impact of the war on both Scotland and England.
