Scotland's Global Empire - A Chronicle of Great Scots

An engrossing and enlightening book that encompasses the exploits and achievements of an astonishing gallery of Scots. It's less a recital of the adventures of conquering heroes and more an outreach of ideas, the story of human endeavor in its many forms pushing at the boundaries of the imagination. It encompasses everything from the spirit of pioneering to the mystical qualities of leadership. Gallagher brings together an astonishing array of characters with a heady mix of extraordinary vision, creativity, energy, leadership, diplomacy, skill, artistry, sometimes pure genius and, more often, downright doggedness.
