William Wallace started out as a humble knight, but he died a war hero. He gave up everything in his fight for Scottish freedom, including his life. When captured, Wallace was hung, drawn, and quartered by the English king for crimes against the crown. Though he was memorialized in the 1995 film Braveheart, this book tells how much of what we associate with Wallace is more legend than fact. Still, the spirit of the great Scotsman lives on in the hearts and minds of his compatriots today.

Historia
Explore the captivating life of William Wallace! You might recognize him from Mel Gibson's film Braveheart. Sir William Wallace (c. 1270–1305) was - and is - a Scottish national icon of the highest order. Born as the landless younger son of a minor nobleman (Sir Malcolm Wallace), his startling rise to become a military and historical legend, an exemplary patriot, and a national hero is an embodiment of the underdog narrative that many people identify with in film and real life.

The Wars of the Roses were a complex set of battles, skirmishes, and kidnappings during the 15th century in England. They had their roots in the nearby Civil War of France, which greatly influenced English politics for years to come. Though there is no one universally-accepted start or end date for these wars, the major events throughout the wars occurred between 1455 and 1485.

Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar: Each was a master of war. Each had to look beyond the battlefield to decide whom to fight and why; to know what victory was and when to end the war; to determine how to bring stability to the lands he conquered. Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar had to be not only generals but statesmen. And yet each was a battlefield commander, a strategist, a leader of men - in short, a warrior.

On August 22, 1485, at Bosworth Field, Richard III fell, the Wars of the Roses ended, and the Tudor dynasty began. The clash is so significant because it marks the break between medieval and modern; yet how much do we really know about this historical landmark? Michael K. Jones uses archival discoveries to show Richard III's defeat was by no means inevitable and was achieved only through extraordinary chance. He relocates the battle away from the site recognized for more than 500 years.

In a 2010 terrorist plot, Al-Qaeda hid a bomb in a FedEx shipment addressed to Reynald de Chatillon, a knight who had died centuries ago in the Crusades. A reviled figure in Islamic history, often portrayed as the very epitome of brutality, Reynald remains as controversial - and as vividly present in the minds of many in the Middle East - as the story of the Crusades themselves.

Holding power for over 50 years starting in 1327, Edward III was one of England's most influential kings and one who shaped the course of English history. Revered as one of the country's most illustrious leaders for centuries, he was also a usurper and a warmonger who ordered his uncle beheaded. A brutal man, to be sure, but also a brilliant one.

Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Julius Caesar's life, Adrian Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later.

The English-speaking peoples comprise perhaps the greatest number of human beings sharing a common language in the world today. These people also share a common heritage. For his four-volume work, Sir Winston Churchill took as his subject these great elements in world history. Volume 1 commences in 55BC, when Julius Caesar famously "turned his gaze upon Britain" and concludes with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Emerging as a market town from a cluster of hill villages in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., Rome grew to become the ancient world's preeminent power. Everitt fashions the story of Rome's rise to glory into an erudite book filled with lasting lessons for our time. He chronicles the clash between patricians and plebeians that defined the politics of the Republic. He shows how Rome's shrewd strategy of offering citizenship to her defeated subjects was instrumental in expanding the reach of her burgeoning empire.

Paul Johnson's book is a refreshing return to a concept whose time has come once again: the Great Man theory of biography. It serves as "the greatest possible refutation of those who hold that events are governed by forces, classes, economics, and geography rather than the powerful wills of men and women". Napoleon truly was the Great Man of his age, a towering and terrible genius who managed to conquer the Continent.

"Sicily," said Goethe, "is the key to everything." It is the largest island in the Mediterranean, the stepping-stone between Europe and Africa, the link between the Latin West and the Greek East. Sicily's strategic location has tempted Roman emperors, French princes, and Spanish kings. The subsequent struggles to conquer and keep it have played crucial roles in the rise and fall of the world's most powerful dynasties.

Interesting look beyond the legend
This is the ninth book I’ve read/listened to by In60 Learning and I would gladly listen to another.
This book is interesting and gives insight into the likely more realistic life and actions of William Wallace. Typically, the idolized man portrayed in movies, as in this case, differs greatly from the true man. That’s what happens when we base our interpretation on accounts written 200 years after the life of the idolized person.
This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Alexander Doddy ) and I would gladly listen to another. His accents are great. He read this very well. This is not a dry history listen.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

Aiming to pick a fight.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable history of William Wallace or as much as can be separated from Myth. The narrator seemed to be as engaged by the material as I was and through it was short it was delightful. Anyone looking for more information after a good viewing of Braveheart will find what they are looking for here. I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Great "Quickie" History Lesson
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of William Wallace: The Spirit of a Scottish Martyr, by in60Learning and narrated by Alexander Doddy. This was a great history lesson for me and it was short enough to hold my interest but long enough to teach me something. I really like the in60Learning idea for learning things of interest that I don’t necessarily need the “in depth” knowledge of to satisfy my curiosity. I highly recommend these books.

Braveheart
Since I really don't know anything about William Wallace AKA Braveheart or Scottish history, I decided to see what I could learn from this quick listen.
This is good brief overview of the story of William Wallace, who has gone down in history as a martyr for the Scottish cause. Since most of what I knew about him came from Hollywood, I found this true history to be very different and a whole lot less romantic!
These 60 minute learning listens are great for those of us who only want a brief introduction to a subject. If the reader is interested in more in-depth information, this is a great place to start to see if the subject is one that they are truly interested in for the long haul.
The narrator does a good job and kept my interest throughout this quick book. I was given the chance to listen to this book through Audiobook Boom! and chose to review it.

William Wallace Rocks!
My favorite movie of all time is Braveheart. The story is amazing, and Mel Gibson is... just brilliant.
With that said, I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook about the great William Wallace.
It definitely gives me a different perspective, and the history of Mr. Wallace is quite the story.
Written very well, great narration, I am definitely happy with this one :)

The Man Behind The Myth
This was an interesting and compelling quick rundown of the life of William Wallace. Aside from little bit of editorializing, I thought in60Learning did a good job dispelling some of the myths surrounding Wallace and presented a decent historical view of the Man. I would have liked some more background on the Scottish rebellion, but given the one hour format there is only so much that can be included.
Alexander Doddy has a good voice and delivered an energetic performance, but his tone and inflections didn't always go with the material.
I received a copy if this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Great Quick Read
William Wallace: The Spirit of a Scottish Martyr was another good quick read by in60Learning. William Wallace died a war hero who gave up everything to fight for Scottish freedom. I thought this was a great quick read that teaches you a lot in only sixty minutes.
