Theirs is an almost forgotten chapter of British history, preserved largely in folktales and ballads. It is the story of the notorious raiding families--Armstrongs, Elliots, Grahams, Johnstones, Maxwells, Scotts, Kerrs, Nixons, and others--of the outlaw bands and broken men, and the fierce battles of English and Scottish armies across the Marches. The Steel Bonnets tells their true story in its historical context-- how the reivers ran their raids and operated their system of blackmail and terrorism, and how the March Wardens, enforcing the unique Border law, fought the great lawless community. A superb work of scholarship and a spellbinding narrative. George MacDonald Fraser is the celebrated author of the Flashman novels, The Candlemass Road, The Pyrates, and the Private McAuslan stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George MacDonald Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094031392992,"sku":"9780214653087","price":57.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/61EQYw26hVS._SX679.jpg?v=1781647249","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-steel-bonnets-the-story-of-the-anglo-scottish-border-reivers","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
