Summary: The story of a day and all the players
Comment: I found this book at the local library. It was great. Mr. Reid tells all the background stories of all the players and then explains the movements as the battle unfolds. We see into the characters of not only Prince Charles but of Adjutant General O'Sullivan, Lord George Murray, the Duke of Perth and other Jacobite Commanders. The clans and their stories are touched on as is the French units and their histories. I learned of the battles of Falkirk and Prestopans and the Jacobites treatment of retreating soldiers helps to pave the way for their retribution at Culloden. I also learned of the different regiments of the Government forces and there commanders under General Wade, the Duke of Cumberland and General Hawley. Just a great book which helps you understand everything from the regimental colors on the British uniform to how each step of the battle unfolded. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to understand Battle of Culloden and the events, which led up to it. I think a person should read this book and then step into the highly detailed story by John Prebble called Culloden.
