More about the book

Focusing on the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion, this book shifts attention from the more commonly studied 1745 uprising to explore the earlier efforts to restore the Stuart dynasty. It utilizes a range of under-explored sources to highlight both the military aspects and the personal and communal experiences of those involved. By emphasizing the social dynamics and individual stories during this critical period, it offers a fresh perspective on the Jacobite movement and its implications for British history.
