Product Description

This text, using contemporary memoirs, letters, newspapers and regimental order books, reconstructs the common man's version of the Moorland Battle and the repression and brutality that followed it for the highlanders. It challenges the rose-tinted legend of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Culloden.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterful account of Britain's last mainland battle, 12 Aug 1999

By A Customer

For an Englishman, John Prebble has a remarkable passion and humanity in his approach to Scottish History. Although he has been condemmed as lacking academic credentials, he has done more to bring to life the bloody and tragic history of the Scots than any Scots historian. Culloden is one of John Prebble's best.

The book covers the battle on Drumossie Moor on that bleak day in 1746 when the British Hanovarian army destroyed the remnants of the Jacobite army under the command of Charles Edward Stewart, and in the process destroyed for ever the hopes of the Jacobites and a way of life that had existed since before the Romans.

The beauty of Prebble's writing is his use of first person accounts. His histories are Human histories rather than dry political/military ones. We all know what happened but Prebble tells us how it affected those who lived through it.

This book is a must for anyone interested in their history. A passionate and moving account that dispells a lot of the Victorian romance of the Jacobite Rebellion. It stands as a memorial to a people and a way of life that was ruthlessly stamped out two 250 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for those who are sentimental about highland history., 9 April 2001

By A Customer

An entertaining,yet heart wrenching story,without the silly sentimentality and romanticism which this episode in highland history has invoked over the past 250 years.Along with the author's writing are contemporary accounts,related by the regular people of both sides of the conflict.

5.0 out of 5 stars A passionate and revealing study, 5 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Culloden (Audio Cassette)

Another classic of little known Scottish (and English) history. It not only undermines the myth of 'Bonnie Prince' Charlie to reveal his blundering leadership, but shows the bloody repression wreaked by the English forces after the Scot's defeat. This, alongside the obvious bravery of the clan army despite being outgunned, is a tragic read that screams injustice across the ages.
