5.0 out of 5 stars The Scot's like most Celt's were a bloody lot
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is perhaps the classic history of the battle of Culloden, and is part of the multi volume set by Johen Prebble on Scottish history. If you are interested in Scotland's history. Read the books in order. The Scot's like most Celt's were a bloody lot. I read this particular volume just before I visited the actual battlefield. It greatly helped to understand what I was seeing. The Scots' having lost the battle are not big on interpretative signs on the ground. There are only enough to orient you: if you are familiar, with what happened. One particular fact from the book that stays in mind is Prebble's, notation that the British soldiers were feed Stilton cheese and bread the night before battle, and that work parties kept up the camp fires and noise. Leading the Scots' to believe a night attack might occur. Thus, at day break the Scots' were lucky to eat cold porridge if anything. The British troops being well fortified, were for the first time in this long series of battles, unbeatable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fiirst-rate history of the Battler of Culloden.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2017
Verified Purchase
Extremely well researched and very clearly written history of the Battle of Culloden in Scotland. Where the author dug up such a wealth of detail is beyond me, but he tells the entire story with exceptional skill. Mr. Prebble has written several other histories of Scotland which I'm sure possess the same qualities as this fine book. I ordered it in hard cover because the print in my old paperback copy was so small. It was watching part of the television series "The Outlander" which motivated me to reread this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars and I am so glad I chose this one
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014

I read several reviews about which history to choose, and I am so glad I chose this one. Prebble is still the one to read, or the first one to read if you want to read more recent ones as well. I was able to figure out a lot about my Scottish ancestor who came to America because of his participation in this Rebellion.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last Highland Charge is neither gallant nor victorious
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
Prebble's histories of Scotland manage to give ample time both to the heat of battle as well as the incredible suffering precipitating and following it. Prebble conveys the suffering of the Scottish people after being abandoned by the expatriate Stuarts and being oppressed by the Hanoverians in such a way as the draw the empathy from the reader like a syringe.

This book is extremely informative and well written. I appreciated the fact that the descriptions are written in easy to understand lay language. My wife and I visited the Culloden battlefield shortly after reading the book and found the book had prepared us very well in understanding the history of the site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and moving
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2021
Verified Purchase
As a Scot, I was profoundly moved by this book. An extremely powerful telling of not just the battle, but the times, the build-up and aftermath, as well as how the clan system operated in its last days, and the impact of the battle’s outcome on the Highlands and on wider Britain.
Most enjoyable and enlightening are the little anecdotes about some of the commanding and colourful personalities who bring the book to vivid life, making them people we’d love to be in the company of and to hear their tales from their own mouths.
Prebble comes across as unashamedly pro-Highlands/Scotland in his telling of this sad tale. His approach does the story no disservice.

5.0 out of 5 stars France-Écosse, des histoires communes trop méconnues
Reviewed in France on April 1, 2021
Verified Purchase
Excellent ouvrage, très bien écrit, se lit d'une traite. La vie, les misères et les souffrances du "petit peuple" de cette grande nation sont admirablement bien rendus, les détails de la survie quotidienne dans la persécution après les batailles sont émouvants et l'on comprend mieux l'exode et les déportations ayant généré une diaspora mondiale.
La présence de la France par son soutien militaire aux Écossais dans ces époques furieuses et chaotiques éclaire aussi la montée en puissance de l'Angleterre et les rivalités européennes.
