Synopsis
The saga of the Forty-five, the last of the Jacobite risings, and the inter-related tragedy of Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, has always fascinated, providing as it does, one of the great ifs of history: if Charles and his army had not turned back at Derby, would the Hanoverian dynasty have been cast out and replaced by Charles' father, the Old Pretender? John Selby has returned to the original documents and excised the myths and over-romanticized legends. Even so, his narrative of the rebellion is filled with color and adventure. From the moment when Charles landed on the forlorn Eriskay coast, through the triumphs of Prestonpans and Carlisle, the fateful decision at Derby, the shattering of a dream at Culloden, to the final wanderings among the islands of the west coast, the drama of the Forty-five is unrelenting. Includes index, photos and maps, many full-color.
