Very good in Good jacket. 288 pages. Map. Notes Select Bibliography. Index. DJ has wear and tears. James Alexander Mackay (21 November 1936-12 August 2007) was a prolific Scottish writer and philatelist. He was described by John Holman, editor of the British Philatelic Bulletin, as a "philatelic writer without equal". He was the editor of The Burns Chronicle from 1976 to 1992 which under his stewardship reached a level of quality and diversity it has not achieved before or since. He then turned to biography. Through the 1980s he worked on a biography of Robert Burns which was published in 1992 to favorable reviews and which won the Saltire Society Book of the Year Award. His subsequent biographies were of Allan Pinkerton and William Wallace. 1996 saw the release of Michael Collins: A Life, a work about the life of the famed Irish revolutionary which received excellent reviews. Mackay also wrote under pseudonyms including Ian Angus, William Finlay, Bruce Garden, Alex Matheson and Peter Whittington. Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas-a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. James Mackay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland. William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better-armed, and better-trained English forces. 700 years later, the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and the dark atrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal and powerful empire, still create a compelling tale.
