Product Description

Book Description
After the forfeiture of the Lordship of the Isles, these two mighty families emerged as prominent amongst all who sought to fill the power vacuum in the West. In this book Ronald Williams shows how their differing strategies led inexorably to that fatal confrontation, wherein Gaeldom, Catholicism and the King were eventually overwhelmed by Calvinism and bloody revolution. The author carefully sets the stage and then, drawing upon extensive personal research, sweeps through the saga of Montrose's campaign with a vigour and passion that is as infectious as it is stimulating. The detailed topographical references are of special value to those who seek to retrace the physical course of events.

About the Author
Ronald Williams was born in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in 1942. Educated at Rossall School in Lancashire, and a History Exhibitioner at Selwyn College Cambridge, he won a Trevelyan Scholarship for a thesis on the Marquis of Montrose in 1960. Between 1964 and 1979 he was a member of the Diplomatic Service and served in Jakarta, Singapore, Budapest and Nairobi. His first book, "Montrose: Cavalier in Mourning" was published in 1975. In 1980 he joined the forestry sector and in due course became Executive Director of the Forestry Industry Council of Great Britain - an occupation which allowed him to travel extensively in Scotland and pursue his interest in its history.

Ronald Williams is currently the Chief Executive of the Publishers' Association. He was appointed OBE in 1991 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (FRSA). In addition to Scottish history, he has a passion for fly-fishing and his interests include archaeology, photography, walking, travel and Real Tennis. When not in Scotland, Ronald Williams lives in a small Hampshire village in the valley of the River Test.
