About this book:
One of the most celebrated moments in Scottish history, the Jacobite Rising of 1745 is often romanticized. Drawing on the work of historians and a wide range of contemporary sources, Culloden expert Stuart Reid strips away the myths surrounding the events of the campaign, revealing some of the lesser-known and fascinating truths about the Rising. Illustrated with contemporary sketches and meticulous full-color reconstructions of dress and equipment, the raising of Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s army is examined in detail – from its organization in regiments and their command system, to its weapons, tactical strengths, and weaknesses.
