Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Wall is a monument to the Roman emperor Aulus Platorius Nepos, who conceived it, and the three legions who dug the complex of ditches and mounds, and raised the parapet and intervening fortresses. It was a dividing line between civilization and barbarism, between safety and danger, between the tamed and the wild, and between the settled country and the outland which was not worth fighting over. #2 The Wall was a permanent reminder of division, but it also had a lasting effect on those who lived either side of it. The regions and the people might have different names from those they bear today, but the Wall stayed, a permanent reminder of division. #3 The Romans came, and with them, the deluge. The frontiers of middle Britain moved as forgotten kingdoms were made and unmade. The English kings loosened the hold of the searover people, and what may be seen as the prototype of an English-Scottish struggle took place in the tenth century when Athelstan of England fought a great and successful battle against a combined force of Scots, Norsemen, and Britons. #4 The last three words of Malcolm’s submission to William the Conqueror in 1072 were peace and stability. The period of tranquillity between England and Scotland began when Henry I married Malcolm Canmore’s daughter in 1107.

From the early fourteenth century to the end of the sixteenth, the Anglo-Scottish borderlands witnessed one of the most intense periods of warfare and disorder ever seen in modern Europe. As a consequence of near-constant conflict between England and Scotland, Borderers suffered at the hands of marauding armies, who ravaged the land, destroying crops, slaughtering cattle, burning settlements and killing indiscriminately. Forced by extreme circumstances, many Borderers took to reiving to ensure the survival of their families and communities, and for the best part of 300 years, countless raiding parties made their way over the border. The story of the Reivers is one of survival, stealth, treachery, ingenuity and deceit, expertly brought to life in Alistair Moffat's acclaimed book.

It’s 1868 and Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., arch-cad, amorist, cold-headed soldier, and reluctant hero, is back! Fleeing a chain of vengeful pursuers that includes Mexican bandits, the French Foreign Legion, and the relatives of an infatuated Austrian beauty, Flashy is desperate for somewhere to take cover. So desperate, in fact, that he embarks on a perilous secret intelligence-gathering mission to help free a group of Britons being held captive by a tyrannical Abyssinian king. Along the way, of course, are nightmare castles, brigands, massacres, rebellions, orgies, and the loveliest and most lethal women in Africa, all of which will test the limits of the great bounder’s talents for knavery, amorous intrigue, and survival. Flashman on the March—the twelfth book in George MacDonald Fraser’s ever-beloved, always scandalous Flashman Papers series--is Flashman and Fraser at their best.

"There is a fashionable myth that Hollywood always gets its history wrong. George MacDonald Fraser believes that it often gets it right, and that we owe a huge unacknowledged debt to the cinema as an illuminator of the story of mankind. Drawing on his experiences as an historical novelist, historian, and screenwriter, he puts the case for the costume movies - Biblical, classical, swashbuckler, imperial, Western, and even the gangster film - not only as entertainments but, at their best, as pictures of the past "more vivid than Tacitus or Gibbon or Macaulay.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Stretching from the North Sea to the Solway Firth, the Border region has a sharply diverse landscape and was a battleground for over 300 years as the English and Scottish monarchs encouraged their subjects to conduct raids across their respective borders. This Warrior title will detail how this narrow strip of land influenced the Borderer's way of life in times of war. Covering every aspect of militant life, from the choice of weapons and armour to the building of fortified houses, this book gives the readers a chance to understand what it must have been like to live life in a late-medieval war zone.
