The Myth of the Jacobite Clans

The Jacobite Army in 1745

Beschreibung

The second edition of this revolutionary book argues that British history has long sought to caricature Jacobitism rather than to understand it, and that the Jacobite Risings drew on extensive Lowland support and had a national quality within Scotland.
