Description

This book is about our British ancestors and their dealings with Rome. Much of it too is concerned with war and more with the Picts. These Picts - the great wreckers of Roman Britain - these "painted" rascals who braved the most powerful army in the world with a light spear and a bag full of stones; and who, on top of that, preferred their beards to decent clothing, were the ancestors of millions of Scotsmen today (from the introduction). 5.5x8.5", 208 pp., color frontispiece, 20 b&w photographs, 5 maps and 16 drawings.
