It is a tremendous tale - one of the most dramatic in our island's history - and O Keeffe tells it beautifully. The Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Edward Stuart's campaign to seize the British throne ended with one of the quickest defeats in history: on April 16, 1746, at Culloden, his Jacobite army was overpowered in under forty minutes. Its brutal repercussions, however, endured for years, its legacy for centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul O Keeffe follows the Jacobite army from initial victories to calamitous defeat. Exploring the battle's aftermath, he chronicles the Jacobite prisoners paying for their treason on block and gibbet while those granted the King's mercy suffered the fate of forced labor on plantations in the colonies. While Stuart's cause eventually acquired an aura of romanticism, the Jacobite Rising remains one of the most bloody and divisive conflicts in British domestic history, which resonates to this day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetailed, vivid - and not for the faint-hearted.
