I have waggishly remarked that "Glencoe proves that the British have no talent for atrocity" because it wasn't an efficient massacre. Only forty men and thirty-eight women and children died that night. There were more refugees than corpses created that night. "It filled the pubs of Scotland with sole survivors for a generation", has also been said. The actual Soldiers that were involved were other Scots provided by Lord Argyll, not Englishmen. But it was a ghastly act, that perhaps came about due to more miss-information than malice. But trust was betrayed, and this remains a book that can be studied with profit by students of relationships between colonial powers and their aboriginals. A very good book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
