5.0 out of 5 stars The Ballad of Scot MacIndry?
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2014
The Swamp Fox by Jason Wallace is an unblinking account of guerrilla warfare during the American Revolution featuring the exploits of Francis Marion. Based on the diary of militia Colonel Peter Horry, the author fills in the blanks in narrating this semi-biographical account. Wallace brings us through the briars and the brambles to places where even revisionist historians fear to tread. The lack of facilities forces Marion and his Carolina Militia to take no prisoners after victorious battles against the British Army. This ‘barbaric’ practice is further exacerbated as they find themselves pitted against the Cherokee Nation in the rugged wilderness. Marion and his troops are forced to do whatever it takes to survive, and the author leaves us with the age-old question of whether the ends justify the means.

In a 21st century where ragtag guerrillas are raising arms against the civilized nations of the world and using any means necessary to achieve victory, we need only look back at Francis Marion and the skeletons in our own closets. Alternately, we ask whether the ruthless reprisals of General Cornwallis’ forces are justified in answering the predators in kind, an eye for an eye. This is part of the bloody history which gave birth to our nation, and we come to full circle in wondering how to go about resolving these issues. Hero or villain? People like Marion are being hailed and condemned in the world press, and the global community remains divided.

If you want to weigh in or reeducate yourself to these contemporary issues reaching across the centuries, The Swamp Fox by Jason Wallace is a good place to start.
