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.

More of a British military history
Revisado: 12-14-18
This book did start out with the lead up to collided and was interesting, but the battle was over after about 3.5 hours in. After that, it really was just a book about the evolution of the British military. It moved over to fighting in America, which was interesting, but again, was from the lens of what was happening and changing in the British military as a whole. I didn’t finish it and don’t really think it should be sold as a book specific to Culloden as the name suggests.
