Good overview book on Jacobite uprising?

I can also recommend:

The '45: Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Untold Story of the Jacobite Rising; Christopher Duffy, 2003, ISBN 0-304-35525-9

Duffy is a preeminent military historian, especially in the area of 18th C. warfare. This book is not a rehash, and delves into previously ignored but crucial aspects - such as the day-to-day weather involved during the Rising.

I just ordered it. Duffy's work is good, I've read several of his books. Much obliged.

McLynn's The Jacobites is terrific. And anything by Fitzroy MacLean (who's deceased) is utterly reliable.

I've an expensive MA in European History from a top university so you can rely on me here.
