This story of Robert Bruce, hero of Scotland, is an action packed tale of one of the greatest patriotic heroes of Scotland. Deprived of his crown by Edward I. of England, who had completely subjugated Scotland by the time he came of age, he won back Scotland's independence against terrific odds. With lots of hand-to-hand combat, treachery, and larger-than-life action, the story of Robert the Bruce is one of the greatest adventure-dramas in English history.

Reviews
The Story of Robert Bruce
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
Robert Bruce was a complex figure in one of the most turbulent periods in British Isles history. Too often, Scottish heroes are cast as rogues and villains, viewed more as barbarian rebels than the nation-builders they were. This book, however, does honor to Bruce’s legacy, portraying him as the fiery, determined revolutionary that he was, fighting to unify and stabilize Scotland.
