Description
Battles listed include: Hastings, The Welsh Wars, Falkirk, Bannockburn, Barnet, Tewkesbury, Bosworth, Flodden, Edgehill, Marston Moor, Inverlochy, Naseby, Dunbar, Killiecrankie and Culloden. Each battle is accompanied by a battle map from the era. At the end of her description of the Battle of Culloden, Wedgwood movingly alludes to the impending threat of a German invasion and the airmen caught up in the Battle of Britain who "left the quivering air signed with their honour."
