Book excerpt: Written by the world's greatest authority on 18th century warfare, this fast-paced, exciting narrative will completely revise popular opinion about " Bonnie Prince" Charlie, the Duke of Cumberland (" The Butcher" ), and the other major players in the Scottish uprising of 1745. Christopher Duffy's original research reveals evidence of a wider plot against the Hanoverians and more support for the risings in Scotland, than had been suspected before. Filled with maps and a guide to the key sites, it provides an eye-opening perspective.
