Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

These are the kinds of questions that drove Professor Youngson, one of Scotland's leading historians, to undertake his remarkable re-examination of the Jacobite Rebellion. He presents two versions of the '45, one from the Hanoverian and one from the Jacobite point of view. What he demonstrates is how, if one adopts two contrasting points of view, the same people and the same events can be described in two revealingly different ways.
Thus in one half of the dual narrative we see Charles the heroic adventurer and brilliant military leader. In the other we see Charles the opportunist, cynical, heartless and irresponsible.
Ultimately, Professor Youngson argues, there is no clear dividing line between history and propaganda - 'it is therefore for the reader to beware'.
