The Jacobite Risings in Britain, 1689-1746 is a highly readable account of the key events and personalities set against the framework of both British and international politics. This is a major study that challenges many of the traditional interpretations of one of the most dramatic and important phases of British history. This book and its companion, The Jacobite Clans of the Great Glen, are two exciting and original studies which make an important contribution to our understanding of Jacobitism both inside and outside Scotland.
