Description
The Black Watch is a massive and meticulous work by historian Victoria Schofield. It covers the period from 1899 to 2006 and draws on letters, diaries, memoirs and interviews with veterans. It could have been a dry recounting of events, but instead is engagingly written so is sure to be appreciated by anyone with an interest in the military, and particularly Scottish military history.
"Schofield's meticulous record... provides a worthy memorial to the Black Watch", The Spectator.
"Each campaign, battle and tour of duty is allocated its due place... it is lively... recounting the regiment's experiences". TLS
