1.0 out of 5 stars Review, 18 Feb 2004
By Junius (London, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an appalling book, and cannot be recommended to any one interested in the Jacobites, the rebellion of 1745 or Charles Edward Stuart. It is full of errors of fact - dynamite was not invented until the following century, Lord George Murray's birth year is wrong, troops used muskets, not rifles, and so forth. There is nothing new about anything or anyone here, and many other (and better) accounts of the rising and the protagonists are available elsewhere.Can anything be said in its favour? Well, it is easy to read and does make references to what is on the ground now (or was in about 2002). The author deems that Charles' existence ceased in 1746, but he did in fact live another 42 years, and experienced many other adventures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Harmless Fun, 21 Jan 2009
By Mr. R. Macdonald (Highlands, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is highly suitable for tourists looking for memorials/monuments of the 45,kids and for those looking for a light,informal read on the subject.David Ross writes with an easy,humourous style yet his passion for Scottish history shines throughout the book.

Perhaps at times Mr Ross is a bit guilty of chest-thumping Scottish nationalism in this which is not entirely appropriate given the complexity of the peoples involved and their varying nationalities.Not that there is anything wrong with taking enormous pride in our rich history-as long as it is properly directed.There are some mistakes as pointed out in a previous review so in that sense it is likely not the most suitable for those seeking a concise account of the campaign.

However, I personally enjoyed the book and many of the historical features mentioned by Mr Ross on his motorcycle tour on the trail of Charles Stuart were new to me.Perhaps they would give folk an incentive to investigate these pieces of (often hidden) history which have become engulfed by modern times and construction,especially if they are local to the reader.Gives a good geographical guide, directions and description of the setting where the feature concerned exists.

On the whole,well worth purchasing even to those possessing an in-depth knowledge of the subject even if only as a guide whilst travelling around the areas featured.Would be suitable as a nice,informal introduction for kids to gain an interest in the Jacobite Risings.
