Culloden and the '45 by Jeremy Black (1990)
I feel like![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
regshoe and I are just bouncing books back and forth at this stage. Anyway, this was a good complement to Christopher Duffy, in that it has much more about the international situation and how that related to the '45. Which I do admit was sometimes a bit eyes-glaze-over: Country X is now attacking country Y! Now they are at peace again! Rinse, repeat, rotate X and Y. So many European wars in the 18th century, wow. : / I don't think his general analysis of the '45 was dramatically different from Duffy's, though.
( Cut for discussion of the character of the Earl of Loudoun and the Earl of Albemarle, probably not everyone is interested (ha ha). )
