1745: Charles Edward Stuart and the Jacobites

Eight contributors, all noted authorities in their own fields, focus on individual aspects of the Rising, providing a balanced perspective on the stirring events of 1745-46. Both Hanovarian and Jacobite points of view are examined in essays on the personalities, battles, background and the aftermath of the 45. The book is further enhanced by useful appendices, including a Jacobite chronology from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, a family tree and route maps for the journeys of the Prince and his army.
