Culloden by Trevor Royle

Culloden by Trevor Royle

Trevor Royle does for Culloden what Juliet Barker did for Agincourt, bringing us the definitive account of the battle and its wider role in the creation of the British Empire.

Trevor Royle is an accomplished military historian of the 17th and 18th centuries, and of the martial Scots generally, and describes the Forty-five with shrewdness and balance. . His prose is lyrical but hardheaded, and the people-centred narrative is always engaging -- Allan Mallinson * Spectator *
[A] refreshing, incisive book . . . Royle's vivid narrative resembles a picaresque novel in which the characters are beset by unexpected strokes of good luck and misfortune -- Lawrence James * The Times *
[An] excellent account . . . splendid history * Sunday Telegraph *
Even someone tolerably well-acquainted with eighteenth century history is likely to find much that is new . . . Royle tells the story splendidly and makes his argument cogently. His book deserves a wide readership -- Allan Massie * Scotsman *
This lovely, exciting book is the perfect introduction to Culloden and why it matters. Trevor Royle is a lucid, elegant writer who excels at explaining the tactics and techniques of warfare and the dynamics of battle * BBC History Magazine *
An absorbing, fast-paced chronicle * History Revealed *
