The Jacobites and Russia, 1715-1750 Paperback – May 1, 2002
Uncovering a tale of adventure, enterprise and espionage, it demonstrates that the threat posed by Jacobite intrigue was not confined to the possibility of military action, but was closely linked to the influence of Jacobite agents on every area of British-Russian political and territorial rivalry. In doing so it relates the efforts of Jacobites in Russia to the aspirations of the Jacobite Court, to shifting diplomatic alignments within Europe and to the changing affiliations of successive Russian monarchs.
Interwoven with this theme of Jacobitism's political impact is that of the outstanding military prowess of key individuals who gave their service to Russia. The study explores how the demands of Russian allegiance could result in complex conflicts of interest, inevitably raising issues of evolving identity and changing priorities.
