Description

Sergeant Mackenzie, the soundtrack made famous in Randall Wallace and Mel Gibson's award winning film "We Were Soldiers" has become iconic and much revered by veterans and their families the world over. This narrative is a fictionalised account of the real characters and events that inspired the "Highland Lament." The Great War saw many ordinary men and women do extraordinary things. This book features the great feats of valour and heroism performed by a group of just such men and women. It is the story of Sergeant Charles Stuart MacKenzie of the Seaforth Highlanders, Floyd Gibbons an American war correspondent, Marthe Cnockaert a Belgian nurse who had a daring dual life and Martin KÖhler a young German soldier who offered a moment of kindness to an enemy in the midst of carnage and madness. The actions of these people and many more will move you, inspire you and help you to remember all that they and millions more sacrificed for our freedom. This is a book about the people caught up in a conflict they didn't understand but who held on to their humanity in the darkest of times.

Author Biography:

Seoras began his film life as a stuntman in the 1986 film Highlander going forward, he has made a successful career in the film industry that includes national and international recognition for his contribution to the genre in Scotland. Having worked closely with such industry icons as Sean Connery, Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Stephen Spielberg and Ridley Scott. This experience of over thirty years, growing from a stuntman to a much sought after fight scene director, also gained him a reputation as a credible and successful negotiator, securing many Feature Film and Television productions to be shot in Scotland. The family legend of William Wallace was prominent in his life from a young age, then, as an acting Clan Chief of the Clan Wallace in Scotland for over twenty years, much more previously unearthed facts became available as the age of information accelerated. Any who ever heard the family account and realising it was so different from the limited academic and Google version, were astonished. Everyone said Seoras should write the story down some day... well that day is here, and in an epic tale in nine intimate narratives, following the story of William Wallace from the family perspective, the legend of Braveheart, is now available...
