The Jacobites tried to restore the Stewarts as kings of England and Scotland after James VII had been deposed in 1689. Written from a Scottish viewpoint, this title spans these stirring times, covering the bloody campaign of Bonnie Dundee, the shambolic 1715 Rising, and the notorious '45 led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, which ended in slaughter at the Battle of Culloden and severe retribution against Jacobite clans. There are many portraits, illustrations and maps, plus details of over 50 Jacobite sites to visit.
