3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, 6 Nov 2008

By	Mr. R. Macdonald (Highlands, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Culloden and the '45 (Hardcover)

As stated in my title this book is a good read for those interested purely in the military and political aspects of the time.Well written and with little inclination in the way of bias towards either side the book provides snipets of unique information and quotes although not much attention is payed to the key figures in the rising.To some this may be a positive as it is easy to get confused or bogged down in names and descriptions, especially for those who are new to the subject. However i personally feel such detail is necessary to determine why certain characters behaved, spoke or acted in the way they did and their reasons and thought-process in doing so.
The book concentrates heavily on the wider political and military perspective of the time regarding the British government and its army's involvement in the wars of 'the low countries'.Some of this detail is very interesting, especially the British government's reaction to the threat posed by the Jacobites and the subsequent troop withdrawals from Flanders.Some however is slightly overcooked and one feels that perhaps more of the book should have been dedicated to the '45 itself and the many intriguing encounters that occured but seem to have been slightly skimmed over-particularly the battles.The diagrams used are also slightly disappointing i.e very basic but the book is certainly worth purchasing as, on the whole,the positives outweigh the negatives.
