The Sword of Scotland is the story of Scotland' s military heritage. Scotland' s fighting men have played a part in shaping the history of our world, and many of the individual countries in it. Its contribution and its sacrifices have been out of all proportion to the size of the Country. The skirl of the pipes and the cry of ' here come the Jocks' have weakened the resolve of many a foe. The Jocks of every Scottish regiment conjure up an image of fierce determination and indomitable courage. To them defeat is unthinkable. The various reasons for this are key themes of this book. The geography of Scotland and its numerous wars with England have played their part. But for over 300 years Scottish regiments have fought with distinction and selfless sacrifice alongside their old foes and played a key role in preserving Britain' s freedom. The clan structure and the tremendous pride in family that this has produced over the centuries are the foundations of the regiments of Scotland and their greatest strength in adversity. Everyone with a Scottish connection will understand and be able to relate to this book, which is the story of an unrivalled military heritage. 100 b/w illustrations
Major General Anthony Leask CB CBE was educated at Wellington College and RMA Sandhurst. He served in the Scots Guards and commanded 8th Battalion, Ulster Defence Regiment, 15 Infantry Brigade and was Commander Land Forces in Northern Ireland and held numerous high profile staff appointments.
