About this Item

Paperback. Very Good. Not inscribed. 541 pages. Covers slightly creased. Illustrated. Suborned and sold off by their chiefs, insulted by the harsh discipline of the eighteeenth century army, the clansmen of the Highland Regiments were the victims of their masters, both English and Scots. Their only redress lay in mutiny, and between 1743 and 1804, sixteen regiments took to the road, with sore results.

Review

"This is John Prebble's best book. The scale of the incidents gives full range to his talent for scene-painting and to his narrative power, while his sympathy for the men and his understanding of the crisis in Highland society give depth." - "New States"
