"What is engaging about this book is that you get to hear the authentic voices of the soldiers through their memoirs, journal entries, and letters.

But locked away in the buried history of the British Isles are other, far richer and more nuanced, stories; and these hidden tales paint a picture very different from the ferocious pillagers of popular repute.
