A Scottish lost treasures collection of three classic Scottish historical novels, each offering a superbly plotted and descriptive narrative. Bundled by subject matter rather than author, the books complement each other to create a compelling trilogy. "Palimpsest's eClassics series, Scottish Lost Treasures, shows us how much poorer Britain's cultural heritage would be without Scottish writers ... The best example I've seen of how curation and presentation can bring old books to new audiences" - The Observer C "This strikes me as a fantastic venture, and one I hope will expand further" - Professor Willy Maley, University of Glasgow, Scotland on Sunday
Steel my Soldier's Hearts is the story of a young Canadian soldier's mid-war entry into tank training and fighting, through D-Day to War's end, told from the viewpoint of an elisted man in the corps he greatly admired; the actions in which he fought and the men that made up his tank crews; of whom he became the sole survivor. Numerous accounts from former officers relate to the fighting in WWII but accounts from other ranks, who did the fighting, are scarce or missing altogether.
