Charles Edward Stuart's campaign to seize the British throne on behalf of his exiled father ended with one of the quickest defeats in history: On 16 April 1746, at Culloden, his 5,000-strong Jacobite army was decisively overpowered in under forty minutes. He explores the battle's aftermath which claimed the lives, not only of helpless wounded summarily executed and fugitives cut down by pursuing dragoons, but also of civilians slaughtered by vengeful government patrols as they 'pacified' the Highlands. Its brutal repercussions, however, endured for months and years, its legacy for centuries.Paul O'Keeffe follows the Jacobite army, from its initial victories over Hanoverian troops at Prestonpans, Clifton and Falkirk to their calamitous defeat on the field of Culloden.
He chronicles the wild, nationwide celebration greeting news of the government victory, the London stage
