Cover of Stuart Reid: Scottish Jacobite Army 1745 46 (PDF)

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-colour 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.
