The Battle of Culloden in 1746 has gone down in history as the last major battle fought on British soil: a vicious confrontation between the English Royal Army and the Scottish forces supporting the Stuart claim to the throne. But this wasn't just a conflict between the Scots and the English: The battle was also part of a much larger campaign to protect the British Isles from the growing threat of a French invasion.

Revisado: 08-30-17
Very disappointed that almost the entire book is about the English generals and troops rather than the actual battle of Culloden. I waned to learn every detail of the battle but instead got a military record of each English officers career. The majority of the book covers their exploits outside of the battle - North America, Europe, etc. Three chapters relate to the title of the. Ok and the rest shoot off in an unexpected direction. Would not recommend it ... certainly if you're a Scotsman like me looking for an in-depth history of the battle that destroyed the highland culture.
