Lacking the romantic imagery of the 1745 uprising of supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 has received far less attention from scholars. Yet the ’15, just eight years after the union of England and Scotland, was in fact a more significant threat to the British state. This book is the first thorough account of the Jacobite rebellion that might have killed the Act of Union in its infancy.

Drawing on a substantial range of fresh primary resources in England, Scotland, and France, Daniel Szechi analyzes not only large and dramatic moments of the rebellion but also the smaller risings that took place throughout Scotland and northern England. He examines the complex reasons that led some men to rebel and others to stay at home, and he reappraises the economic, religious, social, and political circumstances that precipitated a Jacobite rising. Shedding new light on the inner world of the Jacobites, Szechi reveals the surprising significance of their widely supported but ultimately doomed rebellion.

Review

". . . [D]escribes the plight of Jacobite exiles, and . . . presents plenty of scope for understanding why, when the opportunity to support the old cause presented itself again in 1745, the Jacobites in Scotland were prepared to rise."― Andrew D. Nicholls, Canadian Journal of History -- Andrew D. Nicholls ― Canadian Journal of History

3.0 out of 5 stars Relentlessly Downbeat
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2012

Taken as a monograph presenting the facts about the 1715 Rebellion, with appropriate notes and references, the author's enterprise is largely successful and could be recommended. Unfortunately the book is relentlessly downbeat about everything and everyone associated with the rebellion, and as a result is lifeless. There were apparently no heroes and few if any heroic actions. The impression is conveyed that all involved were wasting their time, since the uprising never had any chance of success; perhaps hindsight has been allowed too large a role.
As for specific criticisms, there is too little about the characters, personal agendas and interactions of the key players; James Stuart, the Duke of Berwick, Stanhope, Mar, Argyll, Stair, and Cadogan, to name a few. For example, it has been suggested that Berwick could have got permission from the French rulers to go to Scotland, but did not ask because he had been slighted once too often by his half-brother. Though not a military genius like his uncle, Marlborough, he was a high class general, and substituted for Mar it is hard to imagine Sheriffmuir ending the way it did, though Argyll was a more able general than the author seems to think. Perhaps the eventual outcome would have been the same, but this question like others should have been explored. Apart from its tone, the book's greatest weakness is the narrative of the military aspects of the rebellion.
