An amazing and vivid account of the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745. * Books Monthly * Even if the Jacobite wars are not your main interest, you will enjoy this book as a good example of modern military historical writing; if you are at all interested in the 'Forty-five' it should definitely be on your shelves. * Miniature Wargames - Arthur Harman * Included in MHM's round-up of the best military history titles for February 2018. * Military History Monthly * This is a very readable book and Arran writes in a style that engages the reader in the trajic story of the doomed Jacobite rebellion. The amount of research that has gone inot this book shows. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the Jacobite rising. * Battlefield Magazine *
