About the book >.>.> The Scottish soldier is renowned the world over for his fearlessness and courage and this the first history of all the Highland Regiments bears ample witness to the reputation of the Highlander in uniform. The history of each of the four Highland Regiments – The Black Watch The Queen’s Own Highlanders The Gordon Highlanders and The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders is dealt with in painstaking detail by the author. These pages bring alive past glories and battles some of which are but legends today; campaigns and actions ranging in time from the Napoleonic era to Ulster of the 1970’s. This is not only a book for the soldier or military historian but one for any reader who has at some time thrilled to the skirl of the pipes and the swing of the kilt. W. Pratt Paul is the author of a number of other military histories including The Scottish Regiments and The Glory of the Gordons. He lives in Aberdeen where he is a journalist. (SP)
