Synopsis
On the 250th anniversary of the Jacobite Rebellion The Butcher, in a new paperback edition, deals with the response to the '45. Where there have been several studies of the uprising from the point of view of the rebels, few have approached it from that of the government and its supporters. When roused from the initial reluctance to take the rising seriously, supporters of the Hanoverian dynasty rallied to its defence and exposed adherents of the Stuarts as a small minority not only in England but even in Scotland.The result was to revenge the spectacular earlier successes of the Young Pretender's forces in the crushing defeat at Culloden. Cumberland's determination that there would not be a third rebellion to add to the '15 and '45 rightly earned him the title of "The Butcher".
