Battlefields of England & Scotland

The battlefields of Britain are a strangely neglected part of our national heritage. A few, such as Bosworth and Culloden, have visitor centres, and efforts have been made to explain what happened at the battle, but most have no more than a monument. In this book John Kinross describes sixty-nine battles that took place on English or Scottish soil, from King Alfred's defeat of the Danes at Ashdown in 871 to the final crushing of the Jacobite cause in the snow at Culloden on 16th April 1746. He sets each battle in its historical context, describes the action in relation to the landscape and gives a guide to the site as it is today.

John Kinross has been researching British battlefields for over 30 years and has written several books about them.
